The real thing is hard to find.
Most ube in the US arrives as extract, powder, or frozen halaya. The fresh tuber rarely makes it past the specialty markets of a few cities.
We ship the whole yam. Dense, starchy, naturally sweet, and the deep violet that no food coloring gets right.
Whole tubers
Uncut, unpeeled, skin on. Cook it the way you would any yam, then see the color.
