Natural pigment
The colour shifts. That’s the proof.
Ube colour comes from anthocyanins — pigments that respond to pH. In alkaline mixes the powder drifts blue; in acidic ones it leans pink, with violet in between. That movement is the signature of a real pigment, something synthetic colourings simply cannot fake. Every order ships with a mixing guide so the shade lands where you want it.
Provenance
Most of the “ube” we found in the UK wasn’t ube at all — just flavouring and purple dye. So we went looking for the real thing.
Finding it took heritage, not luck. Using our Filipino roots, we followed the trail home, past the middlemen and the third-country mills, to growers producing real Ube Kinampay. Grown in the Philippines, shipped to the UK, nothing added. Just the yam, its flavour & its natural colour.
What we can put in writing.
- 01
A certificate of analysis per lot
Every lot we import is documented with its own certificate of analysis, so each batch is accounted for on paper.
- 02
The real yam, nothing added
100% Filipino ube powder — no fillers, flavourings or colourings, and not purple sweet potato standing in for the yam.
- 03
Batch traceability, end to end
Each batch is traceable from the lot we receive through to the bag you open, in line with UK food traceability requirements.
- 04
UK-labelled and UK-stocked
Packed and labelled to UK requirements and held in the UK, so trade orders ship domestically without a customs wait.
