Purple Yam Ignites Snack Treat Fad In U.S.

December 16, 2016: 12:00 AM EST
Hipster foodies in U.S cities are into ube, the Philippines Tagalog word for purple yam. Chefs on the left and West coasts of the U.S are using ube in cheesecakes, doughnuts, ice cream, and homemade “twinkies,” the cream-filled sponge cake based on a snack product marketed by Hostess. U.S. restaurants, bakeries, and ice cream parlours are mixing it into everything. It’s an unusual flavor, but the pretty purple color has made ube-based snacks and treats a quick social media hit.
