What it is
Strawberry jelly is a sweet fruit spread made from strawberries, sugar, and pectin. The ingredients are cooked together, and the pectin helps the mixture thicken and set into a gel.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use strawberry jelly to add a sweet, fruity flavor and a gel-like texture to various food products. It is commonly found in pastries, desserts, ice creams, and as a filling for baked goods.
Health notes
Strawberry jelly is generally recognized as safe when consumed as part of a balanced diet. Its primary components are fruit and sugar. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, with an allowance of at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. High intake of added sugars, from any source, is associated with an increased risk of chronic diseases.
