Ube yams
Ingredients
Story
There’s a good chance you’ve never tasted, or perhaps even heard of, ube before — but that’s about to change. Filipino cuisine is hot right now, and perhaps its best known and most recognizable ingredient is this vibrant purple yam, which will be found all over in 2016. Look for ube doughnuts, ice cream, and cheesecake because these purple sweets are about to begin a mayor rise through the food landscape. At any rate, purple is definitely THE hottest color in food moving forward, so keep that in mind while shopping.
The Manila Social Club in Williamsburg (New York) uses this vegetable in a lot of their dishes, which gives food a fun, natural shock of violet color, and soon this trend will expand as people all over embrace this Southeast Asian specialty.
