Fila Manila Filipino American Kitchen's Ube Coconut & Purple Yam Jam is an authentic, small-batch treat that taps into a delicacy made from purple yam or ube. This sweet treat is often eaten with bread or by itself, and its rich color makes it a special addition to snacks and meals.
This vegan-friendly yam jam taps into the popularity of flavors and it shares a spread that's free from gluten and dairy. This new jam is a standout that puts a globally inspired spin on the usual fruit-based jams that dominate the category. Thanks to the sweet and mellow flavor of purple yams, the vegetable tends to lend itself well to sweet dishes over savory ones.
