About Bumbleberry pie

Bumbleberry pie is a classic dessert originating from North America, particularly popular in Canadian cuisine. The term 'bumbleberry' refers to a mix of various berries, commonly including raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries. A bumbleberry pie is typically prepared with these fruits combined with sugar, spices like cinnamon, and encased in a pastry crust. Nutritionally, the pie is rich in antioxidants and vitamin C from the berries, though the sugar content and pastry can contribute notably to calorie and carbohydrate intake. The versatility of berry combinations gives it a bright, tangy-sweet flavor while being nutrient-dense due to the fruit filling.

Health Benefits

• Rich in antioxidants, such as anthocyanins from blueberries, which help fight inflammation and oxidative stress.
• High in vitamin C from mixed berries, supporting the immune system and collagen production.
• Provides dietary fiber from the fruit, which aids in digestion and promotes satiety.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains wheat (in crust), gluten (in crust), dairy (if crust contains butter), eggs (if used in preparation)

Suitable for: Vegetarian

Not suitable for: Gluten-free, vegan (depending on specific crust ingredients), low-sugar diets

Selection and Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in an oven to maintain the crust's crispness.

Common Questions About Bumbleberry pie Nutrition

What is the nutritional content of bumbleberry pie?

Bumbleberry pie typically contains around 300-400 calories per slice, depending on the recipe. It is low in protein, offering only about 2-4 grams per serving, but is rich in carbohydrates (40-50 grams) due to the crust and fruit filling. The pie can provide vitamins such as vitamin C from the berries, as well as some dietary fiber.

Can I eat bumbleberry pie on a keto or low-carb diet?

Bumbleberry pie is generally not suitable for keto or low-carb diets due to the high carbohydrate content from the crust and the natural sugars in the berries. A typical slice can contain 40-50 grams of carbs, making it incompatible with keto guidelines, which aim for 20-50 grams of carbs per day.

Are there any health benefits or concerns with bumbleberry pie?

Bumbleberry pie has health benefits from the berries, which are high in antioxidants and vitamin C, supporting immune health and reducing inflammation. However, concerns include its high sugar and calorie content, which can contribute to weight gain and blood sugar spikes if consumed in excess.

How many servings of bumbleberry pie are recommended?

A standard serving size is one slice, which is typically 1/8 of the pie. Portion control is key, as eating more can lead to excessive calorie and sugar intake. Pairing it with a healthy meal and balancing with exercise is recommended to manage indulgence.

How does bumbleberry pie compare to other fruit pies?

Bumbleberry pie is generally similar in calories and nutrients to mixed berry pies but may have more variety in berries, which could slightly increase its vitamin and antioxidant content. Apple and cherry pies often have higher sugar content due to added sweeteners, while bumbleberry pie relies more on natural fruit sweetness.
