Fresh strawberries
Energy: ~32 kcal / 100 g (planning figure - the product label is the final reference)
How this figure was derived
- Read from
- ~32 kcal / 100 g
- Energy density
- 32 kcal / 100 g
- Basis
- Per 100 g — a weight. Applying it to a volume would be wrong.
- Example, at 30 g
- 32 kcal / 100 g × 30 g ÷ 100 = ≈ 10 kcal
A planning figure, not a laboratory analysis. It is here so a recipe can be reasoned about, not so it can be declared on a menu.
Shelf life: Refrigerated: 2–3 days. Sort daily — one moldy berry spoils the box. Frozen (hulled and washed): months.
Storage: Refrigerate unwashed; wash and sanitize just before use per the fruit-garnish SOP.
- Strawberry milkshakes and frappés
- The base for house strawberry purée
- Washed, sanitized slices as garnish
- Frozen berries replace ice in blended drinks — richer, no dilution
For freezer stock: hull, wash, sanitize-rinse, dry, freeze flat on a tray, then bag in dated portions for blended drinks.
A vitamin C source at ~32 kcal / 100 g. Swapping frozen fruit for ice adds body and flavour with zero added sugar and zero dilution — the healthy upgrade.
