Anthocyanins: The Power Behind the Purple
Ube's vivid color is not artificial. It comes from anthocyanins, water-soluble pigments in the flavonoid family. These compounds are responsible for the red, purple, and blue colors in many fruits and vegetables.
Anthocyanins are widely studied for their antioxidant activity. While ube alone is not a medicine, it contributes to a diet rich in colorful, plant-based foods.
- Natural pigment — no dyes needed
- Antioxidant properties
- Stable in baking and heated drinks
- Also found in blueberries, açaí, and purple sweet potato
