Fancy tasting the famous purple latte without committing to a large pouch? Ube powder 50 g is the ideal size for taking your first steps. At Ubedia, we import the Kinampay variety from the Visayas, in the Philippines, directly — the variety regarded as the world benchmark for purple yam thanks to its delicate aroma and its naturally spectacular colour. This small 50 g size lets you discover the real taste of ube — gentle notes of vanilla and hazelnut — without investing in a large quantity. It is the perfect choice if you are still hesitating, if you want to give someone an indulgent sample, or simply to test whether the purple ritual settles into your kitchen for good. In this guide we explain everything you need to know about ube powder 50 g: how many drinks you will be able to make, what our powder contains (and does not contain), how to compare it with the larger sizes, and how to get your first recipes right. You will see why this little pouch is often the best way into the world of the purple superfood of the Philippines.
Why choose the 50 g size to start with
The 50 g size answers a simple intention: try before you commit. Discovering a new ingredient means taking the time to get to know it. With ube powder 50 g you can adjust your dosage, try several recipes and then decide, with full knowledge, whether to move up to a more generous size. It is also a smart size for gifting: tucked into a food hamper or a gift box, it introduces ube to a curious friend at no risk. And a small pouch is easy to store and quickly finished, which guarantees a powder that is always fresh in the cup.
How many drinks with 50 g of ube powder?
Allow around 4 to 5 g of powder per latte or per recipe. With a pouch of ube powder 50 g you can therefore make roughly 10 to 12 drinks — enough to form a clear idea of the taste and the colour over one or two weeks of ritual. To get your dosage right from the start, we suggest reading our ube powder dosage guide: a few grams are enough to obtain that deep purple and that recognisable flavour. Too little and the colour stays pale; too much and the taste becomes too present. The 50 g size is precisely right for finding your own balance.
What our ube powder 50 g contains (and does not contain)
The ingredient list of our ube powder 50 g comes down to one word: ube. No colouring, no artificial flavouring, no added sugar, no anti-caking agent. Our powder is 100% pure, vegan and gluten-free. It comes from the Kinampay variety from the Visayas, dried at low temperature to preserve its colour and its aromas — which is what sets a real ube powder apart from a cheap blend cut with purple sweet potato.
The Ubedia guarantee
Ubedia packs its powder in France, in Aix-en-Provence, in its own workshop — a rare degree of transparency on the French ube market. Our sourcing is done directly with Filipino growers, and every pouch leaves with its traceability batch, from the root to the cup. Even in a small 50 g size, you get exactly the same quality as in our large formats.
50 g, 100 g or 200 g: how to choose your size
The 50 g size is a way in. If ube wins you over — and it usually does — you will naturally move on to a size that costs less per gram. Here is a guide to help you place yourself:
| Size | Drinks | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|
| 50 g | ≈ 10 to 12 | Trying it, giving a sample |
| 100 g | ≈ 20 to 25 | Discovering it over time |
| 200 g | ≈ 50 | Daily ritual, best price per use |
To go further, compare the 100 g size, ideal for discovering ube and the 200 g size, the favourite of latte lovers. And if you want the full picture of the buying criteria, it is all gathered in our guide to buying your ube powder well.
Price and delivery of ube powder 50 g
The small 50 g size remains the most accessible entry ticket for tasting a premium-quality powder. Per drink it logically costs a little more than a large size, but that is the price of discovery with no commitment. Our orders are shipped from our workshop in Aix-en-Provence, with delivery in France and across Europe. The resealable zip pouch protects the powder from moisture and preserves its freshness right down to your last spoonful. Want to compare prices and avoid the pitfalls of very cheap powders? Our ube powder price comparison covers it all.
How to use your first 50 g of ube powder
The simplest way to start is the latte: one scoop of ube powder 50 g, a little hot water to dissolve it, then hot or iced milk. In two minutes you have a deep purple drink, gentle and comforting. Find the step-by-step in our ube latte recipe. With 50 g you also have enough to try a purple smoothie, a few pancakes or a small bake — enough to discover how versatile the ingredient is without wasting a crumb.
In summary
Ube powder 50 g is the perfect size for trying it out: around 10 to 12 drinks, a 100% pure powder from the Kinampay variety from the Visayas, with no additives and no added sugar, and zero commitment. If purple wins you over, you will then move on to the 100 g or 200 g size, which is better value day to day. Ready to take your first steps?
