Summary

This organic strawberry spread contains fresh organic strawberries, which are beneficial due to their vitamins and antioxidants. However, the product is ultra-processed and contains a high amount of organic cane sugar, which contributes to excessive caloric intake without essential nutrients. The presence of pectin and citric acid as additives is minimal, but the overall processing level limits its health score.

Key ingredients 4

Fresh Organic Strawberries
Very Good

Fresh organic strawberries are rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber. Being organic, they are free from synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, enhancing their health benefits. They provide natural sweetness and flavor, reducing the need for added sugars.

Benefits

Rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, supporting immune function and digestive health.

Fruit Pectin
Neutral

Pectin is a natural gelling agent derived from fruits, used to thicken and stabilize spreads. It is a soluble fiber that can aid in digestion but does not provide significant nutritional value. Its use in small amounts is generally considered safe and beneficial for texture.

Benefits

May aid in digestion due to its soluble fiber content.

Citric Acid
Neutral

Citric acid is a natural preservative and flavor enhancer found in citrus fruits. It is used to maintain acidity and improve shelf life in food products. While generally recognized as safe, excessive consumption can cause dental erosion.

Risks

Excessive consumption may lead to dental erosion and stomach upset.

Benefits

Helps preserve the product and enhance its flavor without significant health benefits.

Organic Cane Sugar
Bad

Organic cane sugar is a refined sugar that contributes to high caloric intake without providing essential nutrients. Despite being organic, it still poses similar health risks as conventional sugar, such as increasing the risk of obesity and diabetes. It is used to enhance sweetness but should be consumed in moderation.

Risks

Excessive consumption can lead to weight gain, increased blood sugar levels, and dental issues.

Benefits

Provides quick energy but lacks significant nutritional benefits.
