There are two ways to fall in love with the purple: taste it plain, in a hot latte that reveals all the vanilla softness of the tuber, or let it play with an indulgent flavour that extends the pleasure. Ubedia's Duo Rituel brings the two together in a single set: a 200 g natural ube powder and a 100 g flavoured powder of your choice. It's the format designed for those who want to discover ube without having to choose, and to set up a real purple ritual at home. Our powder comes from a single variety, the Kinampay of the Visayas, in the Philippines: a purple yam (Dioscorea alata) renowned for its intense colour and its delicate taste, slightly nutty and vanilla-like. At Ubedia, we source it directly, pack it in France, in Aix-en-Provence, and guarantee its traceability from the plot to the pouch, batch by batch. This guide explains why the Duo Rituel ube powder set is often the best starting point, what exactly it contains, how to choose your flavour and how to enjoy it every day.
Why choose the Duo Rituel rather than a single pouch
When you first discover ube, the first question is always the same: natural or flavoured? The Duo Rituel settles the debate by giving you both. The 200 g natural powder becomes your versatile base: lattes, pastries, porridge, ice creams. The 100 g flavoured powder brings an immediate indulgent touch, ideal for a quick smoothie or a purple hot chocolate. This duo format also works out cheaper than two pouches bought separately, while covering more uses. At 29.90 €, it's a complete set that gives you time to explore before deciding on your favourite formats. To compare all the available pack sizes, our guide to which ube powder format to choose details every option.
What the set contains
The Duo Rituel ube powder set brings together two complementary pouches:
- A 200 g natural ube powder: 100% Kinampay, with no additive and no colouring, your base for making anything.
- A 100 g flavoured ube powder of your choice: cherry, mango, coconut, vanilla or hazelnut.
Both powders share the same standard: a single variety, gentle drying that preserves the natural purple colour, and no added sugar. You stay in charge of the dose and the indulgence. To learn everything about the classic version, see our page dedicated to ube powder 200 g, the favourite format of latte enthusiasts.
Which flavour to choose for your Duo Rituel
The choice of the flavoured powder depends above all on what you fancy at the time. Here is how our five flavours pair best:
| Flavour | Profile | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|
| Cherry | Fruity and tangy | Smoothies, yoghurts, milkshakes |
| Mango | Sunny and sweet | Bowls, lassis, ice creams |
| Coconut | Rounded and exotic | Lattes, panna cotta, rice pudding |
| Vanilla | Soft and reassuring | Hot chocolates, pancakes, porridge |
| Hazelnut | Indulgent and roasted | Purple cappuccinos, cookies, brioches |
If you're still hesitating, our guide to flavoured ube powders reviews each flavour with recipe ideas. When in doubt, vanilla remains the safe bet: it complements natural ube without ever masking it.
How to use your Duo Rituel every day
The point of a duo is to vary the pleasure according to the moment of the day. In the morning, a latte made with the natural powder wakes you gently; in the afternoon, a smoothie with the cherry or mango flavour brings freshness; in the evening, a vanilla mousse or panna cotta closes the meal on a purple note. Allow around one level teaspoon (2 to 3 g) per drink, a little more for a bake. The powder dissolves easily in a hot or cold liquid, without lumps if you whisk it. To establish this ritual for the long term, many of our customers then move up to the large format or to a subscription once they have identified their favourite flavours.
Ubedia quality: purity, direct sourcing and traceability
All our powders, natural and flavoured alike, share the same specification. We work with a single variety, the Kinampay of the Visayas, selected for its colour and its aromatic finesse. Our sourcing is direct: we know the growers, which guarantees full traceability, batch by batch, and a fair income for the Philippine farms. Packing in France, in Aix-en-Provence, lets us take responsibility for every step of the chain. Finally, our powders are 100% natural, with no additive and no colouring: the mauve hue comes from the tuber alone. It is this standard that sets the Duo Rituel ube powder set apart from an ordinary coloured powder off the shelf.

The Duo Rituel, a fine gift idea
With its natural + flavour pairing, the set also makes an indulgent and original gift, perfect for a birthday, a thank-you or the festive season. It lets you give a complete discovery rather than a single product, and its purple colour always surprises. If you're looking specifically for something to give, our ube gift set page brings together all our packaging and presentation options.
