McCORMICK Ube Flavor Extract 20ml (Purple Yum)

Great color and flavor.

It did arrive leaking a bit but it wasn't a lot. Looking past that everything was fine. I was able to make delicious Ube cookies. It got on my fingers and turned them purple but after a few hand washings, it was gone. I got some on my white countertop, and it came off fine if you clean immediately.

It's leaking even though it has a seal and plastic bubble covering. Haven't used it for baking.

Having a deep appreciation for the unique taste of ube, I was excited to incorporate this ube flavoring into my desserts. Regrettably, my enthusiasm was met with a series of disappointments. Inadequate Shipping and Handling: The initial issue was the shipping. The delivery took far longer than advertised, frustratingly arriving several weeks late. When the package did show up, it was in a pitiful state - severely dented and partly open, which was disheartening to see. Subpar Quality and Presentation: Unboxing further escalated my concerns. The bottle of ube flavoring was a far cry from its advertised image. It looked cheap and was not sealed properly, raising immediate doubts about its quality and the care taken in its production. It's challenging to trust a flavoring product when even the basic packaging standards aren't met. Flavor Far From Authentic: However, the most crucial disappointment was the flavor itself. Genuine ube has a distinctive, sweet, and earthy depth, but this product's taste was far from it. It had an overwhelmingly artificial, almost chemical-like sweetness, missing the natural, creamy essence of real ube. My attempts to use it in various recipes only led to an unpalatable, synthetic aftertaste, rather than enhancing the dishes with the desired ube flavor. Final Verdict: All in all, from the problematic and delayed shipping to the poor presentation and deeply unsatisfying artificial taste, this ube flavoring was a complete letdown. It failed to deliver the authentic and delightful ube experience I had hoped for. I regret this purchase and caution others against this product. It's a stark reminder that not all flavorings are created equal.

I dont know if there's something wrong with the Butterfly brand or if i got a bad batch, but I made some ube doughnuts with that brand and thr ube flavor wasnt that strong, but when I used it to make a glaze, it was EXTREMELY bitter. I essentially had to do away with it and bought this to try to see if this was any better. In my opinion, the flavor is stronger and the taste isnt as bitter, but its extremely small and far more expensive for the size. A whole bottle did get me one batch of donuts, a batch of glaze and some ube brownies. The ube flavor is still a bit light for my liking but it is there, and I dont like that it uses artificial coloring, but I know its hard to get that pretty deep purple without it since, reading up on the Philipines and ube, even Filipinos are having a hard time being able to get ahold of actual ube to the point where a lot have never actually tasted it, and many dont know that there is ube with a deep color. Sending prayers to my Filipino sisters and brothers that they can reclaim their own yam again and won't be stuck with cheap imitations. But this does get the job done. Hopefully I can find it somewhere cheaper!!

This McCormick ube extract makes the best ube lattes. The flavor, color, and the aroma are perfect and a little goes a long way. It’s great for baking an Ube cheesecake as well as making cookies.

I purchased this to make purple ice cream for the kids during the holiday. My ice cream was a hit! 2 cups of heavy cream, 1 can of condensed milk - mix until it peaks and then add 1 tablespoon of this extract for coloring (add more if needed). I didn't taste much of the ube flavor so I had to add regular vanilla extract for more flavoring. Overall. the extract was nice, it was wrapped very well and sealed securely. This was my first time using ube extract for a recipe so I don't have much to compare it to. I also used the extract to make a purple cream cheese for my brownies. Overall, I am satisfied with the outcome and will purchase again.

I admittedly was excited about making purple food but with the thought of this having healthy Ube properties, 😬 tasty as the imitation liquid is, I cannot see any health benefits since the ingredient doesn't list Ube at all instead lists "Identical Ube Flavors" from Yams and then packed up with a bunch of dyes of red and blue (makes sense) that we have been trying to avoid to get the "crap" out of our system. I am even ok if the extraction of an Ube is green, I was just looking for more of a health benefit in my unhealthy treats lol. Thanks but I guess I'll keep looking.

Finally available on Amazon, now my Ube bakes have the perfect taste and color!

Amazing flavour

Very happy with my purchase
