Recently, Ube has become a flavor powerhouse in the United States. Since the immense success of Trader Joe’s Ube Mochi Pancakes, it’s not surprising that Trader Joe’s would continue to bring more ube products in stores. Here you will be reading my Trader Joe’s Ube Spread Review.
What is Ube?
Ube is a sweet purple yam that is commonly used in Filipino desserts such as the Ube halaya, ube kalammay, and much more. People often confused ube with taro; ube has other names like Guyana arrowroot, ten-months yam, white yam, violet yam, or just yam. In America, you might have seen ube flavors in cheesecake, cake, ice cream, pastries, and sweet rolls.
Trader Joe’s Ube Spread Rating
It is a vibrant purple color with a thin and runny consistency. It is sweet— I’ve seen others comment on how it tasted caramel. Although there was a very slight ube aftertaste, the ube flavor was lost in translation. In the Austin location, the ube spread was $3.99, so it is not too risky to try it out. You can use the spread on pancakes, waffles, and toast. I’ve seen some people use the ube spread in creative latte drinks.
