About Berry puree

Berry puree is a blended concoction made from various berries such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. While berries are native to many regions around the world, their use is most prominent in cuisines from Europe, North America, and Asia, often incorporated into desserts, beverages, and sauces. Nutritionally, berry puree is a rich source of vitamins, particularly vitamin C and vitamin K, alongside dietary fiber and potent antioxidants like anthocyanins. It is naturally low in fat and calories, making it a nutrient-dense food option suitable for various dietary needs. The puree retains most of the health benefits of fresh berries while offering convenience for cooking or snacking.
