Fil Choice Ube Powder is made from purple yam (ube), a tropical tuber prized in Filipino desserts for its purple colour and distinctive, mildly sweet flavour. This versatile powder makes it easy to prepare traditional Filipino sweets and experiment with cakes, ice cream and other desserts.

Use it to prepare creamy ube halaya, or add it to cupcakes, biscuits, pudding and desserts. Ube is also a popular topping for halo-halo, the Filipino shaved-ice dessert with sweet ingredients, fruit, milk and ice. The powder can be combined with coconut milk, condensed milk and other ingredients according to your recipe.
