Raspberry Puree Concentrate

Raspberry puree concentrate is made from raspberries that have been processed to remove most of their water content. This concentrates the natural flavor, color, and nutrients of the fruit. It is a shelf-stable ingredient used to add a strong raspberry taste and aroma.

Manufacturers use raspberry puree concentrate to impart a natural raspberry flavor and color to a variety of foods. It is commonly found in fruit bars, yogurt, ice cream, baked goods, and beverages. Its concentrated form allows for a potent flavor impact with a smaller amount of ingredient.

Raspberry puree concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It contains natural sugars and fiber from the fruit. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar fruit-based ingredients. No significant health controversies are associated with typical consumption levels of raspberry puree concentrate.
