Grape jam

Grape jam is a delicious product made from cooking and concentrating fresh grapes with sugar. Its thick texture and sweet flavor make it an ideal accompaniment for breads, toasts, desserts, and as a complement in various culinary recipes.

The origin of grape jam dates back to ancient Mediterranean traditions, where preserving fruits with sugar allowed their flavor to be enjoyed for longer. Today, it is a popular preserve in many regions of the world, especially in Spanish-speaking countries.

Among its properties, its contribution of natural sugars and antioxidants from grapes, such as polyphenols and resveratrol, stand out. These contribute to cardiovascular health and help combat cellular aging. Furthermore, it provides quick energy due to its carbohydrate content.

In different Latin American countries, grape jam may be known by alternative names such as grape jelly or dulce de uva, although the word "mermelada" (jam) is the most common and recognized.

This ingredient is versatile and is used not only for spreading on breads or cookies but also for glazing meats, preparing cake fillings, or adding a sweet and fruity touch to various preparations.
