If you are only just discovering the purple superfood from the Philippines, 100 g ube powder is probably the best place to start. Neither too small to form a real opinion, nor too big for a first try, this starter size gives you time to explore a dozen recipes before choosing your favourite large format. At Ubedia, every pouch of 100 g ube powder holds the Kinampay variety, the most fragrant ube in the Visayas, grown and then dried at low temperature to preserve its naturally mauve colour and its vanilla-hazelnut taste. It is this premium variety, sourced directly from Filipino growers, that makes all the difference in your cup. In this guide we explain in concrete terms why the 100 g size appeals as much to the curious as to regulars, how many recipes you can get out of it, how to choose between plain and flavoured, and what sets a genuinely good 100 g ube powder apart from a more ordinary product. The aim: to help you order with confidence, without getting it wrong.
Why choose the 100 g size?
The 100 g size is the ideal entry point. It matches that moment when you want to try ube without committing to a large pouch. With 100 g you have plenty for several lattes, a smoothie bowl, a few pancakes and even a small bake — enough to really make up your mind. It is also a practical size to store, easy to reseal and perfect for keeping the powder nice and dry.
Many of our customers start with a 100 g ube powder, then come back to a more generous size once they are won over. If you already know that ube is going to be part of your daily routine, take a look at our 200 g ube powder, the favourite of latte lovers, or go straight to the 1 kg ube powder for enthusiasts who cook with it often. To compare all the sizes and make the right choice, our ube powder buying guide covers everything.
100 g ube powder, plain or flavoured?
The question comes up often, and the answer depends on what you are after. Plain 100 g ube powder is pure ube, with no additives: ideal for cooking, for measuring precisely and for tasting the true character of the Kinampay variety. It is the choice of purists and of anyone who wants full control over their recipes.
Alongside it, the flavoured range offers the same powder in five indulgent flavours — cherry, mango, coconut, vanilla and hazelnut — also in 100 g pouches. These flavoured versions turn a simple latte or a yoghurt into a signature drink in seconds. To work out which flavour matches your taste, our flavoured ube powders page sets out each profile. Many people in fact build their first order around one plain pouch and one flavour, to get the best of both worlds.
Our five flavours at a glance
| Flavour | Ideal for |
|---|---|
| Cherry | Fruity smoothies and tangy yoghurts |
| Mango | Tropical bowls and iced drinks |

| Hazelnut | Indulgent hot drinks and porridges |
How many recipes from a 100 g pouch?
That is the real question when you are hesitating over the size. Counting roughly one to two teaspoons of powder per drink, a pouch of 100 g ube powder gives you enough for a good run of lattes and smoothies, with room to spare for a bake or two. Enough to try several uses before settling on your everyday size.
For precise measuring in each recipe, we recommend keeping a few simple markers in mind: a pinch to add colour, a little more for a pronounced taste. The 100 g size is exactly right for fine-tuning your hand without waste.
Putting together your first order
Here are three simple ways to get started with the 100 g size:
- Pure discovery: a plain 100 g ube powder to explore all your recipes freely.
- The smart duo: one plain pouch plus one flavour, to alternate between cooking and quick drinks.
- The latte ritual: our Duo Rituel (200 g plain + one 100 g flavour of your choice, 29.90 €) so you never run out.
Our 100 g flavours are all offered at 15.90 €, which makes trying them particularly accessible.
What sets Ubedia's 100 g ube powder apart
Not all purple powders are alike, and the 100 g size is precisely the chance to taste the difference without a big commitment. At Ubedia, our 100 g ube powder rests on three pillars.
One single ingredient, nothing else
Our powder is made of 100% Kinampay purple yam: no additives, no artificial colourings, no preservatives and no added sugar, from the field to the pouch. It is also vegan and gluten-free.
Direct sourcing in the Philippines
We work in direct contact with the growers of the Kinampay variety. This short supply chain guarantees a fresh powder, fair pay for the farmers and consistent quality from one pouch to the next.
Real traceability
Every batch of 100 g ube powder is traceable, from its region of origin through to the pouch, packed in France in Aix-en-Provence. You know exactly what you are putting in your cup: ube, nothing else.
Price, delivery and storage
The 100 g size is the most affordable way to discover ube: a measured outlay for a successful first try. We ship anywhere in France, and also to Belgium and Switzerland for our neighbours with a sweet tooth. As for storage, nothing could be simpler: keep your 100 g ube powder in its pouch, well resealed, away from light and moisture, and it will hold its colour and its scent for a long time. To weigh up your choice between the different sizes and flavours in more depth, the Ubedia buying guide remains your best ally.
Ready to order your 100 g ube powder?
