Ube Powder for Baking, 5 oz | Natural Purple Yam Powder by Jans

Great product for making Ube ice cream. You must follow your recipe's instructions for using Ube. This is dehydrated be, so generally you need to reconstitute it by boiling, then strain it through fine mesh, or yes, it will leave your baked product grainy. If you're looking to just add color to your cooking, I'd suggest Ube extract, since it's in a liquid form already.

Didn't taste much like anything in baked goods. Very grainy. Turned everything blue or green instead of purple. Doesn't say on package that you have to cook it first before ingesting.

I knew it would be more "grainy" from the start. When I mixed it in with almond milk for coffee in a blender, it got creamy and thick. I think that was perfect! The flavor was quite strong for only 2 tablespoons in 2 cups of sweetened almond milk creamer for 4 cups of coffee. I wish they would sell a pound of this and add an Ube flavoring extract to it, a two-ingredient combo. Without extract, the flavor is strong enough but I think it would be cool if they had an extra-flavored version of this. I'll take all the ube flavor I can get. This flavor is getting popular in coffee shops. I like the Jans brand, they sell it in my local Ross store, and has been a quality reliable brand from overseas.

I was in the impression that it is a purple yam as what they call it UBE like what it says on the package . I grew up in Philippines and I know exactly what UBE should taste like and looks like .. when I cooked the powder and taste it , it actually taste purple sweet potato, I can totally tell it by taste and color. The real UBE has a deep purple color and has stickier texture when cook longer, from the photos I shared, the first picture is a real UBE should will look like .

Hard to mix in unless you use hot water or milk to dissolve it first

works well with most recipies. I used it to make ube "pandesal" a quick adian bread. turned out perfect. recommend to use it ube extract as well

Isn't as advertised. Definitely not a fine powder shown in the picture. Texture is crystal like and it doesnt dissolve or soften much in water. Doubt id be able to use this in my baking. Waste of my time and sucks butt. FALSE ADVERTISING!!!! Edit: I have decided to grind it down to powder myself

Wife uses in cooking in rice cake or bread
