Frozen strawberries in syrup

Strawberries frozen in syrup are strawberries that have been previously cooked in a sweet mixture of water and sugar, and subsequently frozen to preserve their flavor, texture, and freshness for a longer time. This product is ideal for use in recipes that require a sweet and fruity touch, such as desserts, smoothies, jams, and toppings for cakes or ice cream.

Origin: Strawberries are native to temperate regions and are cultivated worldwide. The technique of preserving them in syrup and freezing them is a traditional method that allows the fruit to be kept in optimal condition out of season. This process facilitates their use throughout the year, allowing one to enjoy the intense flavor of fresh strawberries regardless of the season.

Properties: Strawberries frozen in syrup retain a large part of the vitamins and antioxidants present in the fresh fruit, especially vitamin C and fiber. Thanks to the syrup, they provide a sweet touch that can reduce the need to add additional sugars in recipes. However, it is important to consider the added sugar content to adjust the amount in the final preparation.

Synonyms in Latin America: Depending on the country, this ingredient may also be found under names such as frutillas congeladas en almíbar (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay), fresas en almíbar congeladas, or simply fresas en almíbar with the clarification that they are frozen.
