Raspberry puree

Raspberry puree is made from ripe raspberries that have been washed, de-stemmed, and then pureed. The process typically involves breaking down the fruit into a smooth or slightly textured consistency, often with minimal or no added ingredients, preserving the natural flavour and colour of the fruit.

Raspberry puree is primarily used to impart a natural fruit flavour, colour, and texture to a wide range of food products. Manufacturers add it to enhance the taste and visual appeal of items such as yogurts, desserts, beverages, and baked goods, acting as a natural flavouring and colouring agent.

Raspberry puree is a food ingredient, not a food additive, and is therefore not listed on the Register of Food Additive Authorisations. It is a source of naturally occurring sugars, fibre, and various vitamins and minerals. The UK's Eatwell Guide recommends consuming fruit and vegetables as part of a balanced diet. Regulatory bodies have not set specific intake limits for raspberry puree itself.
