About Geleia de morango

Geleia de Morango, or strawberry jam, is a popular sweet spread in Brazilian cuisine and worldwide. Traditionally made by cooking strawberries with sugar and sometimes pectin, this jam is known for its balance of tartness and sweetness. Its nutritional profile typically includes carbohydrates (from the sugar content) and small amounts of vitamins and minerals naturally found in strawberries, such as vitamin C and potassium. While commercial versions may differ in nutritional content due to added preservatives or sugar, homemade options retain more of the natural fruit nutrients when minimally processed.

Health Benefits

• Strawberries in geleia de morango provide vitamin C, which supports immune function and skin health.
• Contains small amounts of potassium, contributing to healthy blood pressure regulation.
• Homemade versions, when made with reduced sugar, can provide dietary fiber from strawberries, aiding digestion.

Common Questions About Geleia de morango Nutrition

Does Geleia de Morango contain protein?

Geleia de Morango typically contains very little protein, often less than 0.5 grams per serving (usually 1 tablespoon or 20 grams). It is primarily composed of carbohydrates and sugars derived from strawberries and added sweeteners.

Is Geleia de Morango suitable for a keto diet?

Traditional Geleia de Morango is not ideal for a keto diet as it contains high amounts of sugar and carbohydrates, with around 10-12 grams of carbs per tablespoon. However, sugar-free or low-carb versions made with sweeteners like erythritol may be compatible with keto.

Are there health benefits to eating Geleia de Morango?

Geleia de Morango can provide small amounts of vitamins, such as vitamin C from strawberries, but it is generally high in added sugar. Consuming it in moderation may offer a flavor boost but excessive consumption can contribute to increased caloric and sugar intake.

What is the recommended portion size for Geleia de Morango?

A standard serving size is about 1 tablespoon (20 grams), which typically contains around 40-60 calories and 10-12 grams of sugar. It is best consumed as a condiment or spread and not eaten in large amounts due to its sugar content.

How does Geleia de Morango compare to homemade strawberry jam?

Store-bought Geleia de Morango often contains more sugar and preservatives than homemade versions. Homemade strawberry jam allows for greater control over sugar content and can be more nutrient-dense with natural fruit flavors and fewer additives.
