Mai Mai's PURPLE UBE JAM is more than just a dessert; it is a gateway to the authentic flavours of Filipino cuisine. Ube, or purple yam, is one of the most iconic and beloved ingredients in the Philippines. Its intensely violet colour and subtly sweet, unique flavour, often likened to a combination of vanilla, pistachio, and white chocolate, make it absolutely exceptional. This jam is the very essence of Filipino culinary tradition, captured in a jar.
The Mai Mai brand, as a valued food producer in the Philippines, specializes in delivering genuine, authentic Asian flavours. Thanks to this jam, you can experience why Ube has become a global culinary phenomenon, extending far beyond Asian borders. It is a product that combines the simplicity of natural ingredients with a richness of flavour, typical of cuisine where sweetness is celebrated.
Purple yam (Ube) is a tuber that grows naturally in the Philippines. Unlike standard fruit jams, Ube has a deeper, more earthy note that perfectly balances the sweetness. Its texture is denser and creamy, making it incredibly versatile in use. Traditionally used to prepare Ube Halaya (a popular Filipino dessert), the jam version becomes an easy and quick addition to the daily menu.
The uses of Ube jam are almost limitless. It tastes excellent as a spread on toast, butter bread, or pancakes, bringing an exotic touch to classic European breakfasts. It is also a fantastic filling for baked goods—sweet buns, doughnuts, and even macarons, giving them not only an incredible taste but also a delightful, natural purple colour. You can also add it to natural yogurt, vanilla curd, or even use it for decorating cakes and desserts to create a "wow" effect.
Importantly, Mai Mai's Ube jam, due to its authentic origin and specific ingredients, provides a truly Filipino experience. It is a product with a clean composition, focusing on the natural flavour of purple yam and cane sugar, which is key to tropical cuisine. Its extraordinary colour, derived directly from nature, will undoubtedly attract attention and make every dish a small, culinary work of art. Invite a touch of the exotic into your kitchen and discover why Ube has won the hearts of sweet lovers worldwide.
