Organic Berry Puree

Organic berry puree is made from whole berries that have been washed, pureed, and often strained to remove seeds and skins. The berries are grown using organic farming methods, meaning they are cultivated without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. The puree is a concentrated form of the fruit, retaining its natural flavor and color.

Manufacturers use organic berry puree primarily for its natural fruit flavor and color. It adds a sweet, fruity taste and vibrant hue to a variety of products. Common uses include fruit snacks, beverages, yogurts, baked goods, and sauces.

Organic berry puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of natural sugars, vitamins, and antioxidants found in berries. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various fruit-derived ingredients, but specific evaluations for 'organic berry puree' as a distinct additive are not typically noted. As a whole fruit product, it is considered a natural part of a healthy diet.
