About Slice of berry pie

Berry pie is a dessert commonly found in North American and European cuisines, made using a mixture of berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, etc.), sugar, and a buttery pastry crust. Berries are naturally rich in vitamins and antioxidants, while the crust provides carbohydrates and fats. A single slice of berry pie (approximately 1/8 of a 9-inch pie) contains roughly 300–400 calories, depending on the recipe, with a nutrient breakdown that includes natural sugars, fiber, and small amounts of vitamins like vitamin C from the berries. While it can be a calorically dense food due to added sugar and butter, the inclusion of berries provides some nutritional value.

Health Benefits

• Rich in antioxidants from berries, such as anthocyanins, which may reduce oxidative stress.
• Provides a source of dietary fiber from the berries, supporting digestive health.
• Contains vitamin C from fresh or frozen berries, which supports immune function and skin health.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains wheat (gluten), dairy (in butter), eggs (if included in crust)

Suitable for: Vegetarian diets

Not suitable for: Vegan diets, gluten-free diets, lactose-intolerant individuals (if using dairy butter)

Selection and Storage

Store leftover berry pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10–15 minutes for best results.

Common Questions About Slice of berry pie Nutrition

How many calories are in a slice of berry pie?

A typical slice of berry pie contains approximately 300-400 calories, depending on the recipe and serving size. It is also likely to include around 15-20g of sugar and 12-18g of fat, making it a relatively calorie-dense dessert.

Can I eat a slice of berry pie on a keto diet?

Berry pie is generally not keto-friendly due to its high carbohydrate content from sugar and the crust made of flour. A slice can contain 40-50g of net carbs, which is far above the daily limit for most keto dieters. Keto versions can be made using almond flour and sugar substitutes.

Does a slice of berry pie have any health benefits?

Berry pie may offer some health benefits due to the berries, which are rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and fiber. However, the sugar and refined flour used in traditional recipes can outweigh these benefits, especially if consumed in excess.

What is a recommended serving size for berry pie?

A recommended serving size is typically one slice, weighing around 100-150 grams. For a balanced diet, it is best to enjoy berry pie occasionally and in moderation, as part of an overall healthy meal plan.

How does a slice of berry pie compare to other desserts like cheesecake?

Berry pie tends to be lower in fat but higher in sugar compared to cheesecake. Cheesecake may offer more protein (4-6g per slice) due to ingredients like cream cheese, while berry pie usually delivers less protein (1-3g per slice) and focuses on fruit content.
