Fermented Purple Kumara 💜The flavour is gentle and layered, reminding me of binignit—a Filipino comfort dish made with root crops, coconut milk, and sweet fruits—only smoother, lighter, and without the chunky add-ins.Through a careful Japanese fermentation process, the natural enzymes in kumara unlock hidden sweetness, while drawing out subtle notes of umami. Starches gently convert into natural sugars, creating a clean, mellow sweetness. At the same time, proteins transform into amino acids, which deepen flavour and provide nourishment. This not only enhances taste, but also creates a base rich in natural energy.The vibrant purple hue comes from anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that protect cells, support heart health, and reduce inflammation. And because we keep the skin on, it also carries a good amount of fibre for digestion and gut balance.No dairy. No refined sugar. Just the wholesome taste of kumara brought to life through time and tradition. The result is a silky, comforting treat that highlights the natural depth of root crops in their purest form.🌱 Rich in B-vitamins for gentle energy🌱 Enzymes that aid digestion🌱 Antioxidants that support wellness and skin health🌱 Fibre from the skin for gut healthA simple, honest way to enjoy the sweetness of nature—rooted in culture, crafted for today.

For the second time, our UmamiBee Trio Ginisa has been chosen as a finalist in the Artisan category of the New Zealand Food Awards! 💜

This recognition is especially meaningful because we are the only Filipino artisan sauce and paste maker in New Zealand — carrying the flavours of home into every jar we craft. Trio Ginisa is the perfect blend of our founder’s food science expertise and the soul of Filipino cooking, made in small batches with the utmost care.

To be celebrated for our craftsmanship and heritage alongside New Zealand’s best artisan producers is a huge honour — and we hope it makes every Pinoy in Aotearoa proud. 🇵🇭🇳🇿

Our UmamiBee Ginisa Paste has also been chosen as a finalist in the Pantry category of the New Zealand Food Awards! 💜 This is the first Filipino cooking paste to be recognised in a country outside the Philippines — and we are the only Filipino producer making it here in New Zealand.

This paste is MotherBee’s true brainchild, crafted from passion, heritage, and food science. I carry the hope that every Pinoy will feel proud when we bring this award home. 🇵🇭🇳🇿

My dear friends, I’m so thrilled to share one of my biggest achievements this year! 💜 Our UmamiBee Filipino Banana Ketchup, which I recently launched here in New Zealand, has been named a finalist in the Technical Innovation category of the New Zealand Food Awards.

This recognition is incredibly close to my heart — it’s the result of passion, heritage, and science coming together in one proudly Filipino creation. 🌸

Please join me in hoping (and praying 🙏) that come October, we bring home the gold! Winning this category would also give me the incredible honour of being in the running for Product Developer of the Year.

Thank you for believing in me and for supporting this journey of bringing Filipino flavours to New Zealand. 🇵🇭🇳🇿

Good news!!! MotherBee is back in baking! 💜

For the past few years, I’ve been sharing recipes and teaching others, but today was extra special—I finally had the chance to truly showcase my baking skills and creativity at a proper market! 🎉

We joined the Ube Festival organised by Chow Luck Club Foodie Market, and it was our very first timeChow Luck Club Foodie Market an amazing experience!

For the first time in a long while, people didn’t just read my recipes—they got to taste them. 🥹💜 Seeing customers enjoy what I’ve lovingly created, and reading their posts about our goodies, made my heart full.

I loved showing off my creativity in such a rare and exciting event. This was just the beginning. I’m already dreaming up more unique concepts to bring next time. Thank you for the warm welcome—you’ve made this comeback so worth it!
