Ube is the popular purple yam known for its unique nutty, vanilla taste and vibrant color. Because importation of fresh Ube is banned in California, all Ube products eaten here are actually made with purple sweet potato (Ipoeama batata) and synthetic UbeĀ flavoring. The only way to get real Ube here is by growing it yourself! Ube is a true yam (not to be confused with orange sweet potato which is called yam in the US), a tuberous, vining plant from the tropics. This plant needs a long warm season, consistent water, and plenty of fertility to grow well.
