Who is a 1 kg pack of ube powder for?
A 1 kg pack suits cafés, small bakeries, caterers and product developers: enough for real production, not so much that stock ages on the shelf. At Big Moca's guide dosage of 3 g per latte, 1 kg covers about 333 lattes.
Once usage passes about 20 kg a year, a 20 kg bag is cheaper per kg. The price index shows every tier from 100 g to 100 kg.

1 kg pouch, Café plan or 20 kg bag: which is cheaper?
It depends on how much you use in a year. At Big Moca, the price per kg falls in four steps:
| Option | Price per kg | Basis | Fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kg pouch | €70.00 | Incl. VAT | Trials, low use |
| 3 x 1 kg | €63.00 | Incl. VAT | Up to a few kg a quarter |
| Café plan, 1 kg every 4 or 8 weeks | €56.00 | Incl. VAT, free EU shipping | Steady café use |
| 20 kg bag | €60.00 | Excl. VAT and shipping | 20 kg+ a year |
The Café plan has no minimum term and can be cancelled at any time; details are on the Café plan page. Bakeries and manufacturers that use more than 20 kg a year should compare it with the 20 kg tiers, which fall to €50/kg at 100 kg.
What to check before buying a 1 kg pack
Check four things on any 1 kg ube powder: that the label says 100% ube with the species Dioscorea alata, that there is no carrier or sugar, how the price is quoted (incl. or excl. VAT, shipping included or not), and whether the pack reseals. A 1 kg pack is opened many times, so a resealable pouch, like Big Moca's zip pouch, protects a powder with low moisture from humidity. For the full list of spec fields, see ube powder specifications.
