Discover Alpe Pragas Organic Blueberry Fruit Spread
Alpe Pragas Organic Blueberry Fruit Spread is made from hand-picked, dark blue blueberries from controlled organic cultivation. In the alpine mountain climate of the Dolomites, the fruits ripen slower, allowing them more time to develop their distinctive tart-fruity aroma. Great importance is placed on cultivating the fruits as naturally as possible: the seedlings are planted by hand, the fields are weeded several times until harvest, and irrigated with river and spring water from the Dolomites. Sweetened only with agave syrup, the organic blueberries are gently cooked with a little lemon juice and apple pectin to create a fruit spread with a fruit content of 65%. No refined sugar.
Alpe Pragas makes no compromises when it comes to organic fruit spreads, consciously avoiding artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. The fruits are processed gently. The organic fruit spreads are vegan, gluten-free, and, of course, organically certified.
Blueberry – No Added Refined Sugar
The juice, already used by the Aztecs, is experiencing a renaissance today in times when people are more consciously concerned with their diet and sugar consumption. Vegans, who do not want to use honey as a sugar alternative, certainly played a role in bringing agave syrup, a plant-based alternative to honey from Mexico, to Europe.
Similar to maple syrup, the agave, a fleshy plant resembling cacti but botanically belonging to the asparagus family, is cut, and the emerging sap is collected. By heating, the viscous, sugar-rich agave syrup is produced. Since it has a higher sweetening power than white industrial sugar and fewer calories, 100g of sugar can be replaced by 75g of agave syrup. Due to its almost clear color and relatively neutral taste, it hardly alters the Alpe Pragas nectar. The agave syrup used by Alpe Pragas is a natural product from organic farming.
Jam – Marmalade – Fruit Spread
According to the European Jam Directive of 2003, marmalade, jam, and fruit spread differ as follows: for marmalade, the fruit content must necessarily consist of citrus fruits (including peel, juice, puree) and be at least 20%. Jam can be made from stone fruits, berries, or other fruits (also from concentrate or puree), and the fruit content should be at least 35% (depending on the type of fruit); for extra jam, a fruit content of at least 45% is specified. The fruit content of Alpe Pragas organic fruit spreads is significantly higher at 65%. Quality you can taste.
