Why label data matters for ube
Ube labels vary more than most food labels. In our data, products sold as ube include purple sweet potato powders, flavourings with no ube, syrups coloured with E122 and E133, and powders that say “100%” without an ingredient list. Comparing the ingredient lists side by side is the quickest way to see what you are buying.
We did not taste or lab-test any product. Prices are shown in the seller’s currency, and rows that were not re-checked on 9 November 2026 are marked “checked 2 November 2026”. The weighted criteria are on the methodology page.
Big Moca, a Netherlands-based supplier of ube and matcha for consumers and food businesses, is ranked first, with each reason stated as a fact that can be checked on its own pages.
