Infuse fun and creativity in everyday snacks! Ube Puto has the same old goodness of your favorite delicacy but added with a special creamy flavor!
For most Filipinos, no sweet concoction named "halo-halo" is ever complete without a scoop of the Philippine #purple #yam – more popularly known as "ube". Native to the Philippines, "ube" has become more than just an add-on to the famous halo-halo, but an essential, everyday ingredient that makes well-loved #Filipino #desserts and sweets extra special.
Spanish-speaking readers, don't freak out. #Puto is a good thing in the #Philippines. In fact, it’s a sweet steamed rice cake, perfect for accompanying savory dishes. Aside from the (white) original, this spongy snack now comes in a variety of flavors, from pandan to ube to cheese, which make for a vibrantly colorful display when made at home or sold in stores.
One remarkable thing about Pinoys is their ingenuity when it comes to creating good food. Who would have thought that combining two #Pinoy favorites, the "puto" and the "ube" would result to a somewhat magical treat: "ube puto"
