One way to describe ube: a purple-hued yam popular and most often grown in the Philippines. Another way to describe ube: a unique flavor (and color!) that has captivated our customers for several years and counting. Truth be told, ube is both of these things, and this summer, we’re offering yet another sweet way to scratch that ube itch: Trader Joe’s Ube Spread.

True to its name, our Ube Spread boasts ube purée as its first ingredient, which means it goes big on the distinct, craveable, coconut-meets-pistachio Ube flavor. Butter, cream, and coconut cream gives it its smooth, buttery texture; cane sugar sweetens the deal; and sea salt brings out even more of the Spread’s yummy, yammy flavor. Its eye-catching purple hue originates from the ube itself, but we’ve stepped-up the saturation with a splash of purple carrot juice, making it a pretty-in-purple sight for both your peepers and your palate alike!
