About Sherbet ice cream

Sherbet ice cream is a frozen dessert that originates from Europe and the Middle East. It's a hybrid of ice cream and sorbet, usually made from fruit juice, water, sugar, and a small amount of dairy such as milk or cream, giving it a creamier texture than sorbet. Lighter than traditional ice cream, sherbet typically contains less fat due to the reduced dairy content but may still have a comparable sugar level. A 1/2-cup serving of sherbet typically contains around 100-150 calories, about 2-5 grams of fat, and 20-25 grams of sugar, depending on the flavor. It can provide trace amounts of vitamins, such as vitamin C, if made with real fruit juice, though it is mainly considered a treat rather than a source of significant nutrition.

Health Benefits

• Vitamin C in sherbet made with real fruit can support immune health.
• Lower fat content than traditional ice cream can be preferable for calorie-conscious individuals.
• Hydrates due to its water content, which can be beneficial on hot days.
