Ube, known as purple yam or many other names, is a species of yam, a tuberous root vegetable. The tubers are usually vivid violet to bright lavender in color, hence the common name, but they may sometimes be plain white. It is sometimes confused with taro and the purple sweet potato.
It can be easy to confuse purple sweet potatoes and Ube - a type of yam - because of their rich purple color, but make no mistake, they are two different ingredients.
紫薯的英文名字叫purple yam，东南亚那边的人叫它ube，紫心番薯的名字叫purple sweet potato.
很多人错认为紫心番薯是紫薯，其实它们是不同的。
外皮紫薯像是树皮很厚粗糙不可食用，紫心番薯的外皮和一般番薯一样很薄可食用
紫薯的内在基本不甜（至少我没吃出多少甜味），紫心番薯是甜的
紫薯的质地像是芋头干硬且多淀粉，紫心番薯相对于一般番薯也是多淀粉的，但是不干且柔软。
两者在制作甜品中可替换。
在制作芋圆中，可以用到芋头，紫薯和番薯，每种都有不同的风味，但是芋头中的香芋不是紫薯，口感质地有些相似，颜色不同。 - Jak na to + styl
Finally somebody clarifies what Ube is bec ive been seeing a lot of people selling purple sweet potato and posing it as ube.
I did just now. Wanted to know what I have.
At last a most clarifying video about the difference between ube and purple sweet potato. Thank you very much.
Glad it was helpful!
I love that you told us that they are all different but ube and purple yams aren’t the same so yeah that’s what I wanted to tell you know 👍🏾
Many people mistakenly assume taro is ube. Ube is type of root crop use for dessert and sweet stuff; on the other hand, taro is also a root crop, but commonly use in soup dish or vegetable dish.
Excellent presentation and explanation! Thank you so much!

You are welcome 🤗
🙏 Thanks ❤️ 😊
I pulled up about 5 blog pages and this video: YOURS is by far the most helpful, useful & detailed.. THank you!
I've bought all but taro before & used them but it's been a while. Will keep an eye out for ube to make desserts (though I think I swapped the purple potato by accident/ still turned out fine)
Thank you for these kind words, I made this video 2 months ago and not many people interested until recently got some views. I ate taro like potato, try to add them in chicken curry and sweet and soy pork, it’s so good, Ube and purple potato are perfect for dessert, I use them as fillings or tapioca balls
This what ı was looking for . Thanks 🙏🏼
You're welcome 😊
I had bought a purple sweet potato and my roommate kept arguing w me that it was ube. Now I know I was right. Thanks for the video!
You are welcome
Nice job describing the differences. Thanks
You are welcome
Most of the time I bake my potatoes unwrapped, and once in a while I'll steam them in my Ninja 3 - 1 cooking pot. The Garnet is my favorite but, the Japanese Oriental may become my favorite. It was so delicious tonight, and the flesh wasn't as dry like the ones I've had in the past. Thanks for sharing.
Japanese sweet potato is my favorite but I never tried steaming a sweet potato I usually cut them in half and put them on a tray with some olive oil and they come out caramelized because of all the sugar and the skin is nice too
I think that’s the best way to eat the sweet potato ❤️ I love Japanese sweet potato they are so nutty and sweet
Okinawin sweet potato.
I just roasted my purple sweet potatoes with olive oil and salt and pepper. I eat them with butter and plain yogurt, the way I eat my baked potatoes.
I saw a video of a large ube being cut and the center was darker in the center than the outer part. It was from the Philippines.
I believe there is over 150 variety of ube.
My mom just cook purple sweet potato for us
She steam it
And omg they taste really nice 🤤🤤🤤
❤
The lighter purple seems to be Gabe, then the purple 'sweet potato ' is ube.
She's beautiful😊
Thank you ❤
Us Polynesians eat Kalo ( Taro) all the time big part of our diet
Very good explanation 👌👌. I need this types ..where can i buy this . Im from india
Maybe in local markets
That ube is even not the real Ube a real ube root

I'm wondering if they're similar enough in an allergy sense. I know someone allergic to sweet potatoes, and I'm not sure if ube and taro are safe or not.
I would ask your doctor
Is ube always white on the inside? I had some purple yams that had a thick inedible rind but was deep purple on the inside.
No
You can si dark you can si purple red
Can be dark purple almost black
Where can you find ube? I can never find it in hmart
Asian market
0:05 Sorry, that's not an ube.
I only know taro where I'm from.
Where are you from?
@@Juanjuantaste Indonesia... But after watching the video, I'm pretty sure we get purple sweet potato and taro mixed up all the time.
@@isabella16939 Chinese do that too😆one of my best friend is from Indonesia ,I love bakpia and pineapple cookies
@@Juanjuantaste That makes sense, actually! Very strong Chinese influence for cuisines in this region.
What is a Japanese/ Hawaii purple yam? The ones I have seen are white skinned but totally purple inside
I think you are talking about Japanese Okinawa
Check out my other video” what’s the difference between all these sweet potatoes “
Purple yam is Filipino not Japanese
@@Michelle-sv2rfJapanese sweet potato or Okinawa sweet potato or Hawaii sweet potato is not the same thing as the purple yam.
Sweet potato is native to South America. Purple variety probably got selectively cultivated in Okinawa and taken over to Hawaii or vice versa.
Yam existed in many places. Purple yam, called ube in Japan, originally came from Philippines as you said.
Is it bad that I don't like sweet potatoes?
Haha
We grow UBE and for me the photo in the video is purple sweet potato, tho the color is similar but thats not UBE
ube yan, maliit nga lang.
ube yan, maliit nga lang.
ube yan, maliit nga lang.
@@ken_kaneki7939Not an ube.
@@fvancedIt is ube, u can tell by the skin, tho it was probably harvested much earlier. I've dug out enough ube to tell. Majority of the time they're as huge as a head and deep purple on the inside but they can come small and not as pigmented like as shown in the video
I'd eaten raw sweet 🥔 plenty of times. Never ate purple sweet potatoes or the others..
Haha. You definitely should try the purple ones they are delicious 😋
Okinawa sweet potato all day. Ube is its trash cousin. Sorry
Haha
I mean if you eat it just steamed yeah its trash. Its used in dishes not for the sweetness but for the unique flavors it has, the nutty and hints of vanilla. Its like overlooking a steak and saying beef is trash.
