About Strawberry marmelade
Strawberry marmalade is a classic fruit preserve made by cooking strawberries with sugar and often pectin to achieve a thick, spreadable consistency. Originating from European cuisine, marmalades have a rich history as a method of preserving fruits for long-term consumption. Strawberries, the main ingredient, are packed with vitamins and nutrients such as vitamin C, manganese, and antioxidants. Strawberry marmalade typically maintains the fruit's vibrant flavor, though its nutritional profile may shift slightly due to added sugar and heat in the cooking process. It is commonly enjoyed on bread, crackers, or as a topping for desserts.

Common Questions About Strawberry marmelade Nutrition
Is strawberry marmalade high in protein?
Strawberry marmalade is not high in protein. On average, one tablespoon (about 20 grams) contains less than 0.1 grams of protein. It is primarily composed of sugar and fruit pectin, providing more carbohydrates than protein.
Can I eat strawberry marmalade on a keto diet?
Strawberry marmalade is not typically compatible with a keto diet since it is high in carbohydrates, with about 12-15 grams of carbs per tablespoon, mostly from added sugars. However, there are low-sugar or sugar-free options available that may be more suitable for a keto diet.
What are the health benefits or concerns of eating strawberry marmalade?
Strawberry marmalade can provide small amounts of vitamin C and antioxidants from the strawberries, but its high sugar content (about 50-60% of its composition) can pose concerns for those monitoring their sugar intake, such as diabetics. Consuming it in moderation is key to avoiding excess calorie and sugar intake.
What is the recommended portion size for strawberry marmalade?
The typical recommended portion size for strawberry marmalade is one tablespoon (about 20 grams), which contains approximately 50-60 calories. This portion size can help you enjoy the flavor without consuming excessive sugar and calories.
How does strawberry marmalade compare to jam or jelly?
Strawberry marmalade is less common than jam or jelly and often contains pieces of fruit along with the juice, making it chunkier in texture. Jam, in contrast, uses fruit pulp and has a smoother texture, while jelly is made only from fruit juice and is the smoothest of the three. Nutritionally, they are very similar, though marmalade might have slightly more fiber depending on the preparation.
