Adjust recipes accordingly
This is flavoring. Think of the recipe difference between vanilla extract vs. vanilla flavoring. I’d say same. It can be overwhelming. It will stain things purple. I knew this and that’s 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 you’re adding. Some online recipes ask for this and powder and jam and condensed milk and again, all the extra is unnecessary. I’m 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 aren’t a ton of options in this market. I wish there was something more natural or subtle but that’s what why we got so use it wisely.

PERFECT
I live in a place where accessing UBE flavored treats are non-existent. When my daughter asked for an UBE cake, I saw this and it was perfect. we had ube cake! And now I can put it in anything to give it an UBE flavor. Delicious!

Is this even approved by the FDA???
Thanks to the reviews I was careful handling this product but silly me didn’t realize stains anything and anywhere! Look at my teeth after drinking it!!! Stained even my stainless steel jar!It is flavorful and you just need a little.Packaging is the worst and as mentioned previously, leaks all over.Note that this doesn’t have sugar, so I recommend adding some. I agree with the review that said it has an earthy taste.I did not receive the magnet eitherI love ube but this product raise so many red flags!It is flavorful and a vibrant color

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 😔

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.

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 – 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.
