There’s a very new variety of ube in town, one does not have to wash it with more running water and run your hands through them to remove all the sands sticking….The new variety have its fruit on vines..i mean you only have to pick the matured or not so matured ones easily w/o any hassles, boil them, peel and mash to your heart’s content. Its color is dark violet that you dont have to add coloring to it. The texture and taste is all the same with an ube root crop. The fruit’s color is brown and it looks like a potato that has grown its shape irregularly with a rough skin and becomes browner when mature. One vine alone planted at your backyard will yield 2-3 kilos of ube a week and continously bearing its fruit. Good Luck!!
