“Trying new foods is one of the best ways to keep boredom at bay and make healthy eating a regular part of your day-to-day lifestyle,” she adds.Pronounced “ooh-bae,” ube is a purple spud related to the orange sweet potatoes you probably already eat regularly. Though similar to sweet taters in shape and size, ube has darker skin and deep purple flesh.
Though ube is originally native to the Philippines, it’s recently become an international sensation for its unique color and sweet, starchy flavor. “Ube’s dark purple hue is definitely a fun and playful color to use in cooking and baking,” says dietitianSo ube is healthy, right?
