Has anyone tried ube or purple yams?

My mom bought what looked like yams, but inside was purple. I looked it up online and its called Ube. Anyhow, its sweet and it's delicious and all natural! Could it be bad to eat being that it is so starchy?

No they're fine. The problem I have is the only place that sells them near me doesn't sell any that weigh less than 2 lbs each! 2 lbs at once is bad for you.

If you eat it in moderation, I think you would be just fine =) 

I grew up eating that stuff, and let me tell ya, I could put 2 lbs of that away in a blink of an eye ;-) 

Anywoo, enjoy!
