Frozen unsweetened strawberries

Unsweetened frozen strawberries are fresh strawberries that have been selected, washed, and quickly frozen to preserve their flavor, texture, and nutritional value without adding sugar or preservatives. This ingredient is ideal for preparing smoothies, desserts, sauces, and other dishes where the natural flavor and freshness of strawberries are desired year-round, even when they are out of season.

The origin of strawberries dates back to temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, particularly in Europe and North America, although today their cultivation has spread to many parts of the world. In Latin American cuisine, unsweetened frozen strawberries allow for the preservation of fresh fruit and the use of their natural sweetness and acidity in various recipes.

Unsweetened frozen strawberries provide antioxidants, vitamin C, fiber, and few natural sugars, making them a healthy option for sweetening or flavoring without adding extra calories. Being frozen, they retain most of their nutrients and can be used directly in cold preparations or thawed for other recipes.

In different Latin American countries, this ingredient may also be called unsweetened frozen frutillas (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay), frozen red fruits when several berries are mixed, or simply frozen strawberries, highlighting that they contain no added sugar for those seeking more natural and lighter options in their preparations.
