While exact nutritional content may vary based on the recipe, ube provides essential vitamins such as vitamin C and fiber, along with moderate carbohydrates for energy. Typically vegan-friendly in traditional recipes, variations might include eggs or dairy. Its combination of ube puree and bread makes it a source of quick energy and minimal fat content overall.
