Is ube vegan and gluten-free?
Good news: pure ube powder ticks a lot of boxes. Vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free, no added sugar… let's take stock, diet by diet.
One ingredient, many diets
Our powder is 100% ube Kinampay: nothing but dried and ground purple yam. No added sugar, no milk, no gluten, no additive. This simplicity makes it compatible with many ways of eating.
The shorter the ingredient list, the easier it is to know what you are eating. Here it fits in two words: "ube powder".
Vegan
Ube is a plant: a yam. Our powder contains no product of animal origin, no milk, no egg, no honey. So it is perfectly suited to a vegan diet.
For a 100% plant-based ube latte, just use a plant drink (oat, almond, soy, coconut).
Gluten-free & lactose-free
Yam contains no gluten: pure ube powder is suitable for a gluten-free diet. It is also lactose-free, since it contains no dairy product.
It is the other ingredients of a recipe (flour, milk) that bring gluten or lactose, not ube. It is up to you to choose the rest according to your diet.
No added sugar
Our powder contains no added sugar. Ube naturally has a light sweetness, and it is up to you to decide whether, and how much, you sweeten your preparations.
A good point for keeping control over what you consume.
