Yam powder  (including powder ube/purple yam powder) is a versatile ingredient used in UBE Latte cooking, baking, and beverages for its natural sweetness, vibrant color, and nutritional benefits. Here are some common uses:

1. Baking & Desserts

• Breads & Pastries: Adds flavor and color to cakes, muffins, cookies, and rolls (e.g., Filipino ube ensaymada or pan de ube).
• Ice Cream & Puddings: Used in ube halaya (a Filipino jam) or mixed into ice cream bases.
• Fillings: For mochi, donuts, or swiss rolls.

2. Smoothies & Drinks

• Blended into smoothies, lattes (ube latte!), or milkshakes for a naturally sweet, earthy taste and purple hue.

3. Breakfast Foods

• Stirred into oatmeal, yogurt, or pancake/waffle batter for extra nutrients and color.

4. Savory Dishes

• Some cultures use yam powder in soups, stews, or as a thickener (similar to how sweet potato flour is used).

5. Health Supplements

• Added to protein shakes or energy bars for fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins.

6. Natural Food Coloring

• A plant-based alternative to artificial dyes in frostings, doughs, or snacks.
