UBE

Purple yam, more popularly known as ube, has moved from becoming an infamous halo-halo necessity to an everyday ingredient incorporated into various Filipino desserts and sweets. Generally healthier than regular yams, ube contains more antioxidants and aids in the prevention of DNA damage and various cardiovascular diseases. Ube is also a great source of vitamins A, C, and E, as well as high levels of potassium and fiber which encourages a good environment for probiotic bacteria.
