Discover Alpe Pragas Organic Raspberry Fruit Spread
Alpe Pragas Organic Raspberry Fruit Spread is made from beautiful, dark red Willamette raspberries from controlled organic cultivation, grown by Stefan Gruber on his own fields around his farm in South Tyrol. In the alpine mountain climate of the Dolomites, the fruits ripen more slowly, giving them more time to develop their distinct 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 watered with river and spring water from the Dolomites. Sweetened only with agave syrup, the organic raspberries are cooked with a little lemon juice and apple pectin to create a fruit spread with a fruit content of 65%.
Alpe Pragas makes no compromises when it comes to organic fruit spreads, deliberately avoiding artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. The organic fruit spreads are vegan, gluten-free, and, of course, organically certified.
Organic Raspberry Fruit Spread – No Added Sugar
The juice, which was already extracted by the Aztecs, is experiencing a renaissance today as people become more conscious of their diet and sugar consumption. Vegans, who do not want to use honey as a sugar alternative, certainly played a part in the arrival of agave syrup, a plant-based alternative to honey from Mexico, in 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. Heating produces the thick, sugary agave syrup or agave nectar. Since it has a higher sweetening power than white industrial sugar and also 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 distorts 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 fruit, berries, or other fruits (also from concentrate or puree), and the fruit content should be at least 35% (depending on the fruit variety); 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.
