About Fruit crumble

Fruit crumble is a dessert dish with British origins, made by layering cooked fruit (such as apples, berries, or peaches) with a crumbly mixture of flour, butter, and sugar before baking. Its simple ingredients and comforting taste have made it popular across many cuisines. Nutritionally, fruit crumble varies based on its ingredients, but it often contains vitamins from the fruit (e.g., vitamin C from berries) and energy-providing carbohydrates from the crumble topping. While it is typically higher in sugar and calories, it can be modified to include healthier options, such as whole-grain flours and less sugar, adding fiber and reducing glycemic impact.

Health Benefits

• Provides vitamin C from fruits like berries or apples, supporting immune health and skin repair.
• Can supply dietary fiber from fruits and, when whole-grain flour is used, supports digestive health.
• Contains potassium from fruits like peaches, aiding in maintaining healthy blood pressure levels.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains wheat, gluten, butter (milk/dairy)

Suitable for: Vegetarian diet, lacto-ovo vegetarian diet (with dairy)

Not suitable for: Vegan diet (unless dairy-free butter is used), gluten-free diet (unless gluten-free flour is used)

Selection and Storage

Store baked fruit crumble in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.

Common Questions About Fruit crumble Nutrition

What is the nutritional content of fruit crumble?

Fruit crumble typically contains around 200-300 calories per serving (about 1 cup), depending on the recipe. It’s low in protein, with around 2-5 grams per serving, but is generally high in sugar and carbohydrates due to the fruit, added sugar, and crumble topping. It may also provide small amounts of vitamins like Vitamin C and potassium from the fruit.

Is fruit crumble suitable for a keto diet?

Traditional fruit crumble is not keto-friendly because it is high in carbohydrates, often with 40-60 grams per serving. The sugars come from the fruit and added ingredients. However, you can modify the recipe by using low-carb fruits like berries, sugar substitutes, and almond flour for the topping to make it suitable for the keto diet.

Are there any health concerns with eating fruit crumble?

Fruit crumble can be high in added sugars and unhealthy fats if made with large amounts of butter and white sugar, which could contribute to weight gain and blood sugar spikes. On the bright side, the fruit provides some dietary fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins, but moderation is key to avoid excess caloric intake.

What is the recommended portion size for fruit crumble?

A typical portion size for fruit crumble is about 1 cup (approximately 200-300 grams). This serving size keeps calories in check while allowing you to enjoy the dessert without overloading on sugar and carbs. Pair it with fresh fruit or yogurt to make it more balanced.

How does fruit crumble compare to pie or cobbler?

Fruit crumble is usually easier to prepare since it doesn't require a pie crust, unlike pie or cobbler. It typically has a crumbly topping made of flour, sugar, and butter, while cobbler uses a biscuit or dough-like topping and pie includes a buttery crust. In terms of nutrition, crumble is often lower in fat than pie but may still contain similar amounts of sugar.
