Ube is not just a trend! It is Filipino heritage.

That subtle earthy, nutty and creamy flavour of ube is so versatile it has become known as a breakout ingredient. It has been the source of inspiration for many culinary creations, whether they are savory or sweet.

Ube has indeed conquered the international food scene and Germany is just starting to discover this special crop. But for the Filipinos, ube is much more than an ingredient. It is not just a trend! Ube and its many forms, have been part of Filipino fiesta banquets and special occasions. Ube halaya, ube sorbetes, ube halu-halo, ginataang ube… Filipino all have fond memories of ube!

Ube has a special place in the hearts and palates of Filipinos. It reflects the nation’s intricate history and rich culture. It is part of our heritage, ube is in the Filipino soul.
