purple yam
Lilac root vegetable
Purple yam is a starchy tuber with vivid violet flesh, used in Asian and Pacific cuisines.
It appears in desserts, ice cream, and savory dishes, prized as much for its striking color as its mildly sweet, nutty flavor.
Also called ube, especially in Filipino cooking: The ube halaya was the highlight of the dessert table.
