FIL: Isang uri ng halamang-ugat na may kulay lilang laman, sikat na sangkap sa mga panghimagas tulad ng halaya at ice cream.
EN: purple yam
The undisputed king of Filipino desserts. Before 'ube' became a global hipster food trend in lattes and donuts, it was the heart of our lola's halaya, the star of ice cream, and the purple goodness in our halo-halo. It's the OG Pinoy flavor that went international.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *qubi.
The spelling "ube" is now more common than "ubi" in commercial and everyday contexts, but both are correct.
