Standard powders often include fillers, sweeteners, or artificial flavoring. Jans Ube Powder is 100% purple yam, delivering a more authentic and luxurious taste.
Is this better than using fresh ube for premium desserts?
Fresh ube requires extensive prep and can vary in flavor and color. Jans Ube Powder provides consistent, concentrated quality batch after batch, which is ideal for premium work.

How do I use Jans Ube Powder to make traditional ube halaya?
Combine 2 to 3 tablespoons of Jans Ube Powder with 1 can of condensed milk, 1 can of evaporated milk, and a few tablespoons of butter in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a smooth, vibrant purple jam. Adjust sweetness to taste.
How much ube powder should I use to color and flavor a cake or buttercream?
Start with 1 to 2 teaspoons per batch of batter or frosting and increase gradually until you reach your desired purple intensity and ube flavor. The powder is concentrated, so a little goes a long way.
Can I use this powder in drinks like lattes, milkshakes, or halo-halo?
Yes. Stir 1 teaspoon of Jans Ube Powder into hot or cold milk, espresso, or blended drinks for natural color and authentic ube flavor. It dissolves easily in both hot and cold beverages.
Does this powder work with gluten-free or vegan baking recipes?
Yes. Jans Ube Powder is 100% purple yam with no animal products, gluten, or common allergens added, making it compatible with gluten-free and vegan baking when paired with appropriate other ingredients.

What comes in the package when I order?
You will receive one 5 oz resealable bag of Jans Ube Powder. No additional tools or ingredients are included, so you will need basic kitchen equipment and your own recipe ingredients to bake with it.
Do I need to refrigerate the powder after opening?
No. Jans Ube Powder is shelf-stable. Just seal the bag tightly after each use and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
How long does the powder stay fresh after opening?
When stored properly in its resealable bag in a cool, dry place, Jans Ube Powder typically stays fresh for many months. Always check the packaging for the printed best-by date.
What is the difference between ube powder and ube extract?
Ube extract is a liquid flavoring that often contains artificial or natural flavor compounds and little to no real yam. Ube powder is made from dried, ground purple yam, providing both authentic flavor and natural purple color in one ingredient.
