Brazo de Ube

As I review the statistic of my brazo de mercedes, I found out that it became one of my popular recipe on my blog. So, me and my wife decided to make this brazo de ube, a version of the brazo de mercedes using an “ube or purple yam’ filling. Purple yam for some who does not know yet is a kind of sweet potato which is purple in color. The procedures and ingredients is same with the add-ons of “ube or sweet purple potatoes”………………….Did you know that purple sweet potato has the highest nutritional value compared to other vegetables. Its vibrant color is a clue to its high concentration of Vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene. One sweet potato contains five times the recommended daily allowance of Vitamin A, a powerful antioxidant that protects against free radicals and helps guard against smoking-related diseases like emphysema and lung cancer. Sweet potatoes are also a good source of Vitamin C and the trace mineral manganese…….
