                                Recent studies have shown that ube, a purple yam from the Philippines, is rich in antioxidants called anthocyanins. However, this vibrant root vegetable is typically prepared in desserts, so the question remains: are ube desserts healthy? The answer lies in the preparation methods and added ingredients.
