That isn't ube. That is Okinawa sweet potato. The real ube has a scientific name: Dioscorea alata found in the Philippines. It is woody and stringy in appearance.
She is using a sweet potato here not Ube (Purple Yam). You'll know a real Ube root crop by the looks of it. It is usually huge in size and comes in different weird shapes. The skin is very distinctive because it's rough it almost looks like a tree bark and has hair-like tiny roots sprouting from the skin. It has a distinctive earthy nutty taste with a hint of vanilla-like flavor and coconut-like aroma. Although, I understand Ube root crop is kind a hard to find specially if you're living outside the Philippines.
The problem is the Philippines. Philippines, don’t put restriction or regulation on Ube Look what happened with the calamansi. Vietnam is the number one supplier of calamansi in US. I wish they do something about this. I want Ube to be like truffles! Sooner or later some country will take over Ube industry!😢
it's purple sweet potato, that's why it smells like sweet potato real ube has a peel that looks like tree bark, very rough and rooty. when you cut it open, it has a thick sap. that's why you usually process it after it's been boiled, otherwise, all your blades will have sap clinging over them.
Ube is scarce due to high demand. So if something claiming to be Ube has the same price as sweet potato, then it's probably not Ube but a purple sweet potato. You got scammed 😂 Also, the purple color of the real Ube root is so bright thst even if you mix it with some other ingredient, it's purpleness is not overpowered, unlike the purple sweet potato that turns dark grayish when mixed with something.
@@2Cixth those purple we called it here in the Philippines as "Camote" in english term purple sweet potato.. Ube and purple sweet potato are not same. Ube is huge and weird and ugly shape with many different color of purple depend on variety from light purple to deep purple.
It bugs me that he is a baker and he doesn’t know the stuff. Do you not travel or watch other things besides British food is that what you’re doing now is experiencing stuff please do that earlier in life specially when you have the means
There 3 kinds of Ube in the Philippines.1) purple yum/real ube - skin is rough than 2)purple yum 3)is taro roots which is gabi roots.The one she showed us a purple yum.Not real ube.
That's a purple sweet potato and not ube. Ube has darker skin qnd rich purple in the inside. I know because we have ube in our bukid. We also have variety of sweet potato, from purple to yellow/orange sweet potato.
It's ube, purple yam to "Americanize" the item. One needn't have to "Americanize" a unique ingredient like ube to make it acceptable to a different target group. One can just say ube is a local yam from the PH that's so versatile for any type of dessert one can think of making. And it's so delicious.
Thats purple sweet potato...hahah..no way..we plant and grow ube and sweet potato of different colors. Can't mislead us the purple thing is Ube..sweet potato does have variety which is violet in color. Ube is not the same as what girl shown in video and thats purple potato my dear.
she should tell everyone that that one isn't really the legit Ube. Real ube has darker flesh and the skin is supposed to be more earthy look. that must be a purple sweet potato.
Paul you been tricked,the root crop that she showed you is not ube root that's a purple yam.Ube root is bigger and different taste than yam or sweet potatoes.
This is super Cringy. Filipinos in America pretending to know what is Ube. Ube is rare in some Philippines and most Filipinos never tasted Ube Jams. They only eat artificial Flavor of Ube in Ice Cream and cup cakes like those sold by Filipinos in America.
The original ube is not like a sweet potato, the one she showed is actually a purple sweet potato, Sorry ube halaya is made of purple yam... not sweet potato!
It's not ube. It's purple sweet potato she's showing. Real ube has a rough skin and as big as your legs and has a very dark brown skin. Not smooth skin on it.
Is "LA chiffon" different from "chiffon cake"? Because if they are the same, then Robert, did it wrong as chiffon requires separating the egg whites from the yolks to make meringue.
How CRAZY that thing is being called ube!! We buy it in the local market here in the Philippines. It's purple kamote (sweet potato). There's also white and yellow kamote. Those things taste super different from the ube rootcrop! Y'all just put sugar, flour and food coloring wahahahaha!!!
Ube is pronounced as “ooh-beh” with a stress on the “eh” sound. It is not “ooh-bay”, “ooh-bey”, “ooh-bei”. It’s a filipino word, therefore it must be pronounced the way filipinos say this word.
Thank you m'am for introducing your bakery products, but I have only some points of observation about the UBE root crop that grows in the Philippines. @ That's not the real Ube, it is the local Pilipino Sweet potatoes with varieties of colors, from white, yellow, ube, to orange sweet potatoes. @ The real shape of the Ube, is bigger than the human head. @ For educational purposes please show the real picture of UBE. @ That's not also the real Ube jam or halaya, because you missed ingredients, the coconut cream, or milk with added butter/margarine. @ It's not also americanized, in shape of cupcake, because we have our own unique cupcake like putong puti.
OMG!!! That’s definitely not Ube. That’s purple kamote or purple camote. Ube is big and shapes are varied and different in texture and appearance from purple yam. That purple yam is used as substitute if there’s no ube available. Ube in the Philippines is the best specially the one from one of our katutubos, the Aetas. Even when taken from PH and planted in other countries it’s not the same. It’s about the soil and climate.
I planted Ube in a city where Ube is super rare. It is so sad Filipinos in America keep pretending to know Filipino food culture. They dont even know what is Ube. no wonder some of these proud Filipinos in America think that condensed milk can be added to Adobo and still call it adobo.
That is definitely not ube or purple yam. An ube tuber has irregular, dark brown skin, often rough and bark-like in texture. When cut open, it reveals a vibrant purple color, ranging from light lavender to deep violet. What she is holding is actually a purple sweet potato.
A filipino chef who do not know what real ube looks like, you're just doubling down the misinformation. might as well just use the ube flavoring and call it a day😂
Be careful with filipino ube. It has to be a real ube tuber not a purple sweet yam. They are totally different even in taste. Real ube taste is similar to Taro and they are not sweet.
She is not using the REAL Ube yam. Just because it's purple yam it's is UBE. Even in the Philippines, ube crop is seasonal. They are abundant during the Christmas holiday. Ube yam is kind of creamy inside, not dry like yam when you boil them. It's frequently boiled in the Philippines not roasted like she said. To get the real Ube now, you need to buy them imported from the Philippines, not any other Asian countries like China or Vietnam. It has to come from the Philippines. You can buy it frozen from the Asian Stores manufactured and imported by Tropics or any Filipino distributors. It's ALWAYS deep purple, not lightly colored.
This is not an ube it is a purple sweet potato.. i know authentic ube because my family cultivate it here in the Philippines.. ube's skin is like a taro but ube is not a taro.. ube's flesh are light to dark purple color depends in variety...
When I make ube halaya (ube jam), I always buy powdered ube from the Philippines. Frozen grated ube are available in some places. You can find them in Asian supermarkets/groceries. These Filipino bakers using Japanese purple yams are misrepresenting the authentic Philippine ube.They know what they are doing, and it is sad. I don't think you can buy a fresh ube here in the U.S. Japanese purple yam is not the same as the Philippine ube. Let's be real.
Still, it's a misleading content. Pinoys are not fool. We know wharlt's real ube/purple yam. I can't blame other viewers for reporting this video because she is lying.
I totally understand and agree, but it’s the closest thing we have to the flavor of our motherland. It’s like Sisig, original Sisig is not the same as the Sisig the rest of the county knows it to be or cooks it with mayo. What’s the difference? It’s how our food evolves due to the resources we have. That’s the world for you.
That's not ube 😂, it's a purple sweet potato. We have ube plant here in the Philippines and we also have different colors of sweet potatoes from yellow, orange and purple. Purple sweet potato is just a substitute for ube yam but the quality of ube is superior when it comes to taste.
That isn't ube. That is Okinawa sweet potato. The real ube has a scientific name: Dioscorea alata found in the Philippines. It is woody and stringy in appearance.
Yah, wondering why it looks different
I agree
That's sweet potato which is also a variety of ube
@@audraelynnegrimmelhaussen8808 really bcoz of the color? The plant of ube is totally different from the sweet potato
@@audraelynnegrimmelhaussen8808No it's not. Lol
Petition for this episode to be redone with proper ube!
That's not ube.. That's purple sweet potato. Please use google and search UBE or PURPLE YAM..

I agree it’s sweet potato
ha ha ha a true pinoy blood, manloloko. Ube yam to camote violet.🤣🤣😂
The problem is the Philippines. Philippines, don’t put restriction or regulation on Ube Look what happened with the calamansi. Vietnam is the number one supplier of calamansi in US. I wish they do something about this. I want Ube to be like truffles! Sooner or later some country will take over Ube industry!😢
One more thing, even in the Philippines, they do sell fake Ube!
it's purple sweet potato, that's why it smells like sweet potato
real ube has a peel that looks like tree bark, very rough and rooty. when you cut it open, it has a thick sap. that's why you usually process it after it's been boiled, otherwise, all your blades will have sap clinging over them.
Ube is scarce due to high demand. So if something claiming to be Ube has the same price as sweet potato, then it's probably not Ube but a purple sweet potato. You got scammed 😂

"its smells like a potato" lol because literally that's an okinawan/japanese purple sweet potato. That's not an ube
That’s not ube. It’s purple sweet potato, which is often marketed as ube in the US.
thats Ube.
@@2CixthIt’s not. It’s purple sweet potato, also called Okinawa sweet potato.
Ube plant has tubers large dark-skinned and really off-shaped and rough, but it can bear fruit a smooth light skinned fruit. so maybe.....
@@rallyndomanico6701na-a. we have ube in our backyard and the ube fruit you mentioned is not like that, thats purple sweer potato
@@2Cixth those purple we called it here in the Philippines as "Camote" in english term purple sweet potato.. Ube and purple sweet potato are not same. Ube is huge and weird and ugly shape with many different color of purple depend on variety from light purple to deep purple.
First off, not ube… second, turning ube to a pastry isn’t something new, we’ve been doing that for decades in the motherland
Thats not ube.
i agree. thats purplebpotato, hence the smell 😂
It bugs me that he is a baker and he doesn’t know the stuff. Do you not travel or watch other things besides British food is that what you’re doing now is experiencing stuff please do that earlier in life specially when you have the means

Ube jam from 'good sheperd' in baguio city is the best so far, hope you could taste it
It is!! Our favorite!
Lucky she got a really purple kamote that looks like ube. Then call it "ube cupcakes". Ahh it's ok to each his own. 👍
you mean kamote cupcake.
It's not authentic purple yam.. it's purple sweet potato
Wrong tuber, its purple potato not purple yam.. mas mainam pa siguro kung di nya pinakita yung root crop sample
Thats purple sweet potato...hahah..no way..we plant and grow ube and sweet potato of different colors. Can't mislead us the purple thing is Ube..sweet potato does have variety which is violet in color. Ube is not the same as what girl shown in video and thats purple potato my dear.
Sweet purple potato nga yan she should know her product before introducing
Yeas. She needs to be arrested. Misinformation.
Thats not ube, your not telling the truth girl, you dont know what ube really looks like, ube is big
she should tell everyone that that one isn't really the legit Ube. Real ube has darker flesh and the skin is supposed to be more earthy look. that must be a purple sweet potato.
It might not be ube, but that was impressive. I guess you can make cake with sweet potato too. 😊
Thanks for the positive reaction. She is working hard to put the Philippines on the map & I'm sure her products are delicious!!
@@lornabegley9913we never question her passion. We question the way she present something that is not actually the real item.
The cake creation looks so good. I can taste it from the screen 🥰
That's a purple sweet potato, not ube.
I think they add sweet potato and add ube powder or essential oils
That is not ube. As a farmer growing a lot of ube, i am very sure that what they showed u here is not ube.
It's sweet purple potato ube is different from yam or sweet potato
Also not true that we eat ube every day. Or that all desserts contain ube.
As others have pointed out....that is not ube that she showed the guy....
Paul you been tricked,the root crop that she showed you is not ube root that's a purple yam.Ube root is bigger and different taste than yam or sweet potatoes.

Not ube but a purple sweek potato. They've been scammed. 😅😅😅
The real ube has dark brown color on the outside and the inside is deep purple.
Maravilhoso como tudo o que as suas Mãos fazem ❤.
It's not ube. It's purple sweet potato she's showing. Real ube has a rough skin and as big as your legs and has a very dark brown skin. Not smooth skin on it.
That's not ube. Ube looks more like a taro root but purple and bigger.
Daw kamote man na. Daw hindi pure ube
That is a purple sweet potato, not ube!
Nay, you’re not using ube. You’re a Filipino and you don’t know the real ube. You’re using purple sweet potatoes girl.
Why is every comment on this video exactly the same? We get it. It’s not actually Ube.
Is "LA chiffon" different from "chiffon cake"? Because if they are the same, then Robert, did it wrong as chiffon requires separating the egg whites from the yolks to make meringue.
That's not ube its a purple sweet potato, ube is bigger and the skin is dark
The thumbnail show a purple Sweet potato not a UBE!!!
That's purple yam. It's not ube. There's distinction between the two, shape, form, and taste.
thats not even an ube
Crazy that's not Ube its purple sweet potato
How CRAZY that thing is being called ube!! We buy it in the local market here in the Philippines. It's purple kamote (sweet potato). There's also white and yellow kamote. Those things taste super different from the ube rootcrop! Y'all just put sugar, flour and food coloring wahahahaha!!!

not really, they can pronounce it however they like 😂 or "americanize"
LMAO UBE😂
Ube is endemic only in the Philippines
It's endemic to South East Asia pati na rin sa New Guinea at Southern Japan.
Thank you m'am for introducing your bakery products, but I have only some points of observation about the UBE root crop that grows in the Philippines.
@ That's not the real Ube, it is the local Pilipino Sweet potatoes with varieties of colors, from white, yellow, ube, to orange sweet potatoes.

@ It's not also americanized, in shape of cupcake, because we have our own unique cupcake like putong puti.
Ube has a unique deformed shape... Depends how long you harvest it.
That is not an ube! Its a purple sweet potato. Hayaaa!
She's using a violet colored sweet potato that is not purple yam
Girl, that isn't ube. I'm surprised you got on camera with that lol.
OMG!!! That’s definitely not Ube. That’s purple kamote or purple camote. Ube is big and shapes are varied and different in texture and appearance from purple yam.

THAT is NOT ube! Ube has a more "rugged" feature!!! That's the Japanese sweet potato. That is embarrassing!
Purple sweet potato with much of Ube flavorings.. to taste like ube
Better have an ube farm and will get Rich.. Ube becoming difficult to find nowadays.
That’s sweet potato
That is definitely not ube or purple yam. An ube tuber has irregular, dark brown skin, often rough and bark-like in texture. When cut open, it reveals a vibrant purple color, ranging from light lavender to deep violet. What she is holding is actually a purple sweet potato.
Only in Philippines u can find u dont have it here in US
The look so so good.
How is that ube? Thats a purple sweet potato.
that's purple sweet potato
Looked like purple sweet potato… not ube
I love the pretty color people.
Some of us like the color purple, as well. ⚘
Lol thats not ube.
hey tahts not ube. thats a purple sweet potato. My Goodneaa😢. Youre not a Filipino, if you dont know what ube looks like
A filipino chef who do not know what real ube looks like, you're just doubling down the misinformation. might as well just use the ube flavoring and call it a day😂
clearly! just get ube flavorade from bakersfield
You can also buy an Ube paste. They sell those here from Philippines too.
Be careful with filipino ube. It has to be a real ube tuber not a purple sweet yam. They are totally different even in taste. Real ube taste is similar to Taro and they are not sweet.
Ouch thats not Ube.. gurl please don’t lie.
thats sweet potato purple 😊
That is kamote cake 😅. A real ube root crop doesn't look like that.
I sub because of pilipino ube and Paul ..
That is not Ube, it is purple sweet potato.
Ube is getting commercialized globally much like macha from Japan. The least they could do is identify the correct root crop.
That's okinawan sweet potato not Ube.
Thats not ube,its purple potato,the cheap ube
i dont think ive ever met a ube and im super confused how to get real ube instead of flavoring.

That's not ube. Its sweet potato!
In America, you have to use the resources available to you. Real Ube would be a treat but we make the best of it.
Then she should have said purple sweet potato as a replacement of ube bcoz of the purple color
Still, it's a misleading content. Pinoys are not fool. We know wharlt's real ube/purple yam. I can't blame other viewers for reporting this video because she is lying.
Yeah but don't call it ube.

@@KuyaCraig sisig is a different thing. but ube replaced with some kind of potato and then mislead people and viewers?
Purple yam in our area not these kind of purple and the yam usually hard etc
Thats not quite true. There are other Filipino desserts other than ube. Ube is quite difficult to find in some parts in the Philippines.
Clicked thumbs down and reported for misinformation because it showed purple sweet potato instead of purple yam.
That is not Ube it purple sweet potato.
Thats not ube. Its sweet potato purple. 😂😂😂
Paul Hollywood? But he mentioned "We Europeans" if not mistaken? What?

That is not une; that is purple yam!!! This should be corrected!
“Why is it purple?”
“Well, we’re filipino.”
