Mixed berry purée

How this figure was derived
- Read from
- ~60–120 kcal / 100 g (typical)
- Energy density
- 60–120 kcal / 100 g
- Basis
- Per 100 g — a weight. Applying it to a volume would be wrong.
- Example, at 30 g
- 60–120 kcal / 100 g × 30 g ÷ 100 = ≈ 18–36 kcal
This range spans ±33% of its own centre. It is the supplier variation in this product, not a defect in the arithmetic — a figure from your own product label would narrow it.
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: Commercial frozen: months; thawed or opened: a few days refrigerated. House-made: 3–5 days refrigerated, dated — or frozen in portions.
Storage: Sanitized, dated, sealed container in the fridge; freeze portions for holding. No label = discard.

- Berry frappés and milkshakes
- A swirl through lemonade and iced tea
- Yogurt–berry smoothies
House-made: blend mixed berries (fresh or frozen), sieve thoroughly — berry seeds ruin the texture — then stir in ~10% sugar by weight for stability and flavour. Sanitized, dated container: 3–5 days refrigerated, or freeze in portions.
Commercial purées are often sweetened — read the label and count it as added sugar (WHO: under 10% of daily energy, ideally under 5%). The house version puts the sugar under your control.
