Never thought that UBE will be this big, for me this is just a childhood memory of christmas and new year, where my family will buy, boil, peel and grate UBE... UBE in a very large pan combined with evaporated and condensed milk and sugar, stir it by hand to make sure there are no lumps of sugar... cooked in in charcoal stove and continuously stir it by 2 person for 1 to 3 hours with a very long spatula almost like an oar, until the thickness is achieved, the ladies then will begin putting it on metal trays (Llanera) or plates and mold it just like a smooth hill on the plate with margarine.. I really love UBE because of the nostalgia it brings, but even here in the Philippines, there is none that matches the nostalgic taste of a real home cooked UBE for me, usually commercial products always put sweet potato as an extender..

[@WhatsupPhilippines]

Lucky you!

It takes year to harvest. Many farmers don't have the patience or resources to feed his family that long.

[@jeanpanganiban14]

Thank you Nelly! Great content.

[@WhatsupPhilippines]

Glad you think so! ❤️🫶

[@ronaldregio]

Yea

[@adyingshadow]

As a Filipino living here in America, growing up in the Philippines of course I grew up eating ube so when I got here in America, I tried to introduce it to my friends and they weren’t fond of it. Now it became a trend, they “liked it” and it got me so mad that all of a sudden they “like it.”

[@WhatsupPhilippines]

Hahaha

[@nelsonlanojan365]

Even any kinds of root crops found in the Philippines,and any other kind of natural resources found in this country,

[@eliyang29]

love watching your videos ❤

[@WhatsupPhilippines]

I'm so glad! ❤️

[@MichaelAluag]

Nelly UBE is our special root crops. I have planted some UBE at the back of my house in Tagaytay because that was the favorite root crops of Cavite local people.

[@WhatsupPhilippines]

Wow! Do you still have them?

[@MichaelAluag]

@WhatsupPhilippines yea I have.

Good to hear!

[@nenalitageronimo4790]

Hello! Nelly i'll always watching your vlog

[@WhatsupPhilippines]

Hi there! Thanks so much!

[@ReynaldoJrTeraza]

true.. the agriculture sector is being left behind by the state,, the time that the sector being given importance is the time of Pres. Ferdinand Marcos and the time of Pres. Duterte..i being a born in the time of the 70s i was fascinated by the deeds of Pres FM. i when entered college i go definitely to agricutural school...i became a worker in an LGU. but, so frustrating that LGUs are given the prerogative either to implement or not.. i did not last long in the LGU and transferred to private and work to supply food for a resort.. i know i can do better if i am in the government and make innovations...

[@grandbravy]

I think same thing happened to vanilla too, when I was young I used to think I know what vanilla is but soon google got popular and I learned that most ones available in the market is just vanilla flavor, artificially created to taste like vanilla, the same with "butter" which mostly is just frozen margarine and also "milk creamers", oh wow how the world is "progressing" huh, anyways I think PH gov need to start modernizing our argiculture, promote more of it schools, you see if you ask a child in school today if what do you wanna be when you grow up, I highly doubt alot of them would say " I wanna be a Farmer!", oh dang, I make yearbooks for a living and I just realized, I have never seen a student to actually write "I wanna be a Farmer when I grow up". Hope in this coming years, agriculture in PH would improve and progress and "Make Vegetables Cheap Again!"

[@WhatsupPhilippines]

Totally!

[@jamesbond-of9ty]

📷🥷☺️🤙

[@socorologrono5069]

Their so lots in here in Bohol, Philippines 🇵🇭

[@WhatsupPhilippines]

Really? I didn't know!

[@wrhytz]

Chocolate hills? Ube hills! 😅

[@Myk904]

I wonder if it is the same ube natural taste same when planted on different cold countries? And the ube natural taste flavor only adapted to rain and sunny country, well to tropical land..

[@WhatsupPhilippines]

Hmmm good question 🤔

[@JefSchenkenberg]

It takes at least two years to get a good size of ube. There is a purple- colored ube and the white one.

[@edwinwerdna7061]

Another reaction, wow.

[@IwillGo-pl2of]

Ube is as old as me. I grew up with it almost everyday on the table .it was so common in our mountain and fields and forests. Good for humans and animals consumption. Pests like squirrels ruining it with other rootcrops makes disgusting to plant

[@WhatsupPhilippines]

Ohhh 😮

[@lexlier8336]

as a filipino that used to live on urban and city life in the Philippines, i can attest that even most Filipinos can't tell the difference of authentic ube to real ube, even those living on towns or some country side can't even tell, unless they used to plant it like us, when i taste products claiming it's ube flavored or has a ube in it as it's main ingredient i can tell which one is worth and authentic ube products.

[@piosian4196]

Camote, a few drops of purple dye and imagine the taste of real UBE, soon to be forgotten by the inventors.

[@EduardoLayug]

Ube scientifically known as dioscorea alata, dating back to pre colonial times and have originated in the south east asia and cultivated in our countries for centuries

[@WhatsupPhilippines]

Wow thanks for sharing!

[@lunar-e.6620]

Bohol , particular in the island of Panglao & Dauis are the major source of Ube in Bohol as well as in the Philippine markets.... Ube available in Philippines markets are usually from Bohol. The big ISSUE now is,... these 2 island agricultural Towns namely Panglao & Dauis in province of Bohol... it have been transformed to a heavily Tourist Places, those UBE farms before are nowadays a Residential Buildings, Commercial buildings, Resorts, Hotels, Gas Stations, Harwardwares and other commercial and office establishments..... about NO MORE UBE farms that we should have seen in that area where people in there are mostly left in farming and they shifted to do business and I don't know Which is which is good for the people..... as agricultural area or commercial area.

[@WhatsupPhilippines]

Sad to hear

[@joeveroseemberadorgranetin355]

Yes ube is ours and kaong and nata de coco as well

[@bonytabayoyong6511]

I first had real one in America through the magnolia brand in the 90s ..but the magnolia brand now is not the original brand with the use of ingredients that are not original but mimic what was…that’s why I don’t buy magnolia ice cream now

[@WhatsupPhilippines]

Sounds yum

[@jjlandolandria5147]

Hillo llyne

[@lunar-e.6620]

😂😂😂

[@julidev1445]

Hi Nelly, Ube is so healthy and nutritous. It's one way to lose weight.

[@WhatsupPhilippines]

Ohhhh thanks for sharing!

[@atabac]

i think if they planted it in US, they are helping popularizing the crop.

[@WhatsupPhilippines]

Can be 🤔

[@temujinkhan6326]

dont know why i am seeing this now... I just gifted an ube plant to an indian client today... I am filipino and have to disagree that america or other country having to educate customers of where UBE came from. Do filipinos know that rice was first grown in china? To include many other vegetables?

[@WhatsupPhilippines]

Wow what a coincidence!

[@dancampana6757]

🇵🇭 Cavite uplanders KNOW what Real Ube looks and tastes like 🇵🇭 And it's definitely NOT purple Yam....😮

[@loishunter8434]

You cannot blame the chinese.

[@VanissaMartwick]

That os artificial powder and a lots of sugar our ube is from the roots

[@WhatsupPhilippines]

Right!

[@RT-wl7io]

Soon, we will be ordering Ube fries at McDonalds.

[@WhatsupPhilippines]

Not a bad idea ☺️

[@Barmailee]

You can never artificially make ube because its not going taste that addictive flavour. Period ube is just as addictive like chocolate imagine making an artificial chocolate will it taste good? Hell nah

[@WhatsupPhilippines]

😅

[@wrhytz]

Ube is NOT a purple yam.

[@WhatsupPhilippines]

What is it?

[@wrhytz]

@WhatsupPhilippines Ube is Ube. Although ube is also purple in color, "Purple yam" is purple sweet potato. Sweet potatoes, no matter the color, yellow, orange, or purple, still taste like sweet potato. The real distinction is the taste. 😋 "Tugi" and "sago" are another species where the latter is most popularly used in Boba drinks.

[@u2bst1nks]

Except it IS purple yam. It's just that sweet potatoes are not yams. Yams are members of the genus Dioscorea. Ube is Dioscorea Alata. IT IS A YAM. It is purple yam. Sweet potatoes are ipomoea batatas. They are not yams. Purple sweet potatoes are not yams and they are not ube. The issue is that some places in the US refer to sweet potatoes as "yams." However, the USDA now requires a sweet potato that is called a "yam" to also include the description "sweet potato" in order to avoid confusion.

[@wrhytz]

@@u2bst1nks NOT a purple yam , but THE real purple yam. 100% agree with you. 😊

[@atabac]

ube is purple yam dude

[@asiandude8361]

It's like Japanese anime. The US dubs it in english and it sounds bad.

[@WhatsupPhilippines]

Hahaha this is funny
