Strawberries And Strawberry Puree

Strawberries are a popular red fruit grown on low-lying plants. Strawberry puree is made by processing whole strawberries into a smooth liquid or semi-liquid form, often by cooking and/or blending them.

Manufacturers use strawberries and strawberry puree to add natural fruit flavor, color, and sweetness to foods. They are commonly found in dairy products like ice cream and yogurt, as well as sorbets, baked goods, and beverages.

Strawberries are a natural food ingredient and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated strawberries as food, and they are considered safe for consumption as part of a balanced diet. No significant health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels.
