Where to Buy Ube?
Ube isn't on every street corner yet, especially in Europe.
Here's where to find it, in what form, and why the brand you choose changes everything.
Still a rare ingredient in Europe
In the Philippines, ube is everywhere. Here, it's another story.
The fresh tuber travels poorly and keeps for only a short time, so it's rarely found in France. That's why ube is mostly enjoyed as a powder — more convenient, more stable, and available all year round.
The powder concentrates ube's colour and aroma without the constraints of fresh produce. It's the simplest, and most reliable, way to enjoy it at home.
Powder or capsule: the two Ube Time ways
At Ube Time, ube comes in two forms, for two moods.
The powder, for those who like to measure, whisk and build their latte like a barista. And the capsule, our innovation: the first ube latte in a capsule, pre-dosed, ready in thirty seconds.
Two formats, one single quality standard: the Kinampay variety, with no additives.
Ube latte capsules existed nowhere. We were the first to imagine them, to make ube as simple as a morning coffee.
Why buy it from Ube Time
Since ube is still hard to find, you might as well choose the right place first time.
At Ube Time, every product clearly states what it contains: Kinampay ube, the most prized variety in the Philippines, a single ingredient, no colouring. Add the powder or capsules to your cart in one click, and you're sure of your ube. It's this consistency, and our exclusive capsules, that make all the difference.
- Fresh ube is rare in Europe: powder and capsules are the simplest options.
- Ube Time offers both, in the Kinampay variety, with no additives.
- Ube latte capsules are an exclusive you won't find anywhere else.
