About Fruit pastille
Fruit pastilles are small, chewy sweets made predominantly from concentrated fruit juices, sugar, and gelatin, originating from the United Kingdom where they were first introduced in the 1880s. Known for their bright colors and varied fruit flavors like lime, blackcurrant, and orange, fruit pastilles are popular in Western cuisines as a treat or dessert snack. While these sweets provide energy due to their high carbohydrate content, they are generally low in essential vitamins and minerals and rich in added sugars. Their nutritional profile primarily consists of simple sugars, making them an occasional indulgence rather than a staple food item for balanced diets.
Health Benefits
- Quick energy source due to high carbohydrate content from sugars.
- Provides a small amount of Vitamin C when fruit juice concentrates are used.
- Can satisfy cravings without high fat content (depending on recipe).
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store in a cool, dry place in a sealed container to prevent sticking or drying out.
