Ube is seasonal and it does not wait for anyone. Firm and purple-black when it arrives, it turns soft and buttery with a little heat – somewhere between an avocado and an olive, and completely its own thing.
What you get:
- Fresh seasonal African pear (safou)
- Turns soft and creamy with brief heat
- The traditional pairing is roasted or boiled corn
- Availability is seasonal – stock moves quickly
Warm in hot water for a few minutes or hold briefly over a flame until the skin gives. Refrigerate on arrival and eat within a few days.
