About Raspberry compote
Raspberry compote is a sweet, tangy fruit sauce typically made by cooking fresh or frozen raspberries with a small amount of sugar and sometimes a splash of lemon juice. Originating in European cuisine, particularly French and German dessert traditions, compotes are used as toppings for pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or ice cream or enjoyed on their own. Raspberries are nutrient-rich, low in calories, and high in dietary fiber, with about 6.5 grams of fiber per cup of raw berries. They are also an excellent source of vitamin C, providing over 50% of the recommended daily intake per cup, and they contain antioxidants such as quercetin and ellagic acid. Raspberry compote retains much of these nutrients, though added sugar can increase caloric content.
Health Benefits
- Rich in antioxidants like vitamin C (26.2 mg per 100 g of raw raspberries) which supports immune health and skin integrity.
- High fiber content (6.5 g per cup) aids in digestion and supports healthy gut microbiota.
- Contains manganese (0.67 mg per cup), which supports bone health and metabolism.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store raspberry compote in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze it for up to three months. Avoid leaving it at room temperature for prolonged periods to prevent spoilage.
