A little goes a long way!
Use them for Ube Rice Krispy treats!Just add a half tsp and a splash of vanilla extract to your regular Rice Krispies treats to kick them into trendy!!!! The Purple color is really powerful. Ube is rich and delicious, but has a bit of an āearthyā aftertaste which the vanilla extract removes.

Great taste but beware IT STAINS
This is a great ube flavoring but just be clean and cautious because it is also a strong purple food dye. Got a little on my fingers opening the bottle and was purple for the next day and a half. I worry it would do to a porous countertop.

It... Works.
It's okay - it's not quite the same as using an extract and it's also LOADED with fake coloring. So much fake coloring that if you get a bit on your counter, your counter WILL stain. The taste is okay; I wouldn't use it in something like a drink because it tastes very powder and yammy on it's own. However, it was good in the ube sugar cookies I bought it for: when used in baking it provided the right amount of subtle flavor.

I didn't get the magnet
Strong flavor and color, don't know if it's authentic but tastes good. Ingredients are artificial. I also did not get the magnet š

Adjust recipes accordingly
This is flavoring. Think of the recipe difference between vanilla extract vs. vanilla flavoring. Iād say same. It can be overwhelming. It will stain things purple. I knew this and thatās why I bought it. Even in recipes that ask for this product specifically, I can usually substitute just half with perfect results. Most folks are unnecessarily heavy handed with this. Also consider how many other Ube products youāre adding. Some online recipes ask for this and powder and jam and condensed milk and again, all the extra is unnecessary. Iām not the best at substitutions in these type of recipes as some folks use the others to completely change the consistency.This gives everything a nice purple color if you use the appropriate amount. Pour too much and it starts getting scary. There arenāt a ton of options in this market. I wish there was something more natural or subtle but thatās what why we got so use it wisely.

Uninspired and Disappointed with Ube Flavoring
As someone who loves experimenting with unique flavors in my baking, I was genuinely excited to try this ube flavoring. However, my entire experience from shipping to tasting was a series of letdowns.Quality and Presentation Concerns: Upon unboxing, the product didn't redeem itself. The ube flavoring was in a bottle that looked surprisingly cheap and worn, not at all like the vibrant, professional images shown online. The label was peeling off and had a typo, which cast doubts about the overall quality and authenticity of what was inside.Lackluster Flavor: The real test, though, was in the flavor itself ā and unfortunately, it failed here too. Ube is known for its rich, earthy, and slightly nutty taste, but what I got from this bottle was anything but that. The flavor was artificial, more reminiscent of generic sweet purple yam than the true, distinctive taste of ube. It lacked depth and authenticity, failing to do justice to the beloved Filipino ingredient. Even when used generously in my recipes, the flavoring didn't impart the expected ube magic but rather an off, synthetic aftertaste.Overall Experience: In summary, from the problematic shipping and handling to the unimpressive quality and the disappointing, inauthentic taste, this ube flavoring was a big letdown. It neither lived up to the expectation nor provided the rich, ube experience I was craving for in my culinary creations. I won't be purchasing again and would recommend others to look for a more authentic and reliable flavoring option.
