Ube

[Diane]

I have written a new page on ube. Ube is a Filipino deep purple yam and it can grow on a vine.

Enjoy Ube

Dioscorea alata
Halayang Ube

A tan or brown skinned yam variety is called Ube. Once cooked it turns a deep purple. Filipinos love purple desserts. They are said to be associated with prosperity, money, wealth, and good fortune. Ube ice cream is a special treat for my great grand aunties. Ube yam looks a lot like taro root but they are a climbing vine that creates roots which are purple and highly nutritious. They grow in the orient and are very popular in the Philippines and would grow anywhere with a moderate climate.

Ube can be made into a purple dessert that Filipinos love. The color purple is on the 100 peso bill; it is a sign of prosperity. Halayang Ube [ooh-beh] is a purple yam. Filipinos mainly know ube as halayang ube or purple yam jam made by peeling the root, boiling it and mashing it, a laborious process. It is most often reserved for special occasions such as holidays and birthdays. However, do not make the mistake of bringing home taro root or Okinawan sweet potato. Ube has a unique flavor all its own. Its taste is said to be a cross between hazelnut, chocolate, vanilla. It can grow on a vine or there is also an knobby underground variety.

From the pulldown menu below, read about how ube can help intestinal disease, allergies, lower blood pressure, protects the liver and more.

↑ iron 
↑ antioxidant proteins
↑ protects liver 
↑ vitamin C
↑ detoxing agent
↑ fiber
↓ blood pressure
↓ diabetes risk

Many medical articles follow this.

I love ube. It is useful for IBS, for allergies, for many things.

Wild yam is to be avoided. White yam is really a sweet potato and rich in nutrients. Ube is a purple yam from the Philippines it too is rich in nutrients. Ube and white yams cause me no pains. Eating or juicing the leaves is to be avoided. I wrote some pages on this. See below.

I have just discovered that the British Medical Journal researchers have finally discovered why so many children were dying from eating lychee fruit. This is grown here in Hawaii and eaten regularly. Lychee cannot be eaten on an empty stomach especially if the person is malnourished.

WILD YAM

I personally have never picked wild yam (Dioscorea villosa).

I know the cream did cause me problems.

Diane, 

gosh what super pages you have created. That is so interesting that there could be  kidney shut down from too many oxalates (contained in starfruit) resulting in irreversible kidney failure.

i dont like foods with oxalates somehow, i dont like mangold or spinach or lambsquarters as the high oxalates taste unappleaning to me.

This is wonderful Louise that you are not attracted to high oxalate foods. It is really true I have a PKD friend who had traveled to Asia and ate starfruit. Shortly afterward he was awaiting a transplant because his kidney functioning dropped so low.

I too have learned so much from you. About inflammation and what foods cause it: nightshade plants~potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers. And from Vicki, I learned about lectins causing inflammation. And from many more of you your questions make it so I learn so much.

Thank you.
