Raspberry is a cold remedy known to us from many years of childhood. With flu, sore throat, cold and just high temperature - the first thing we remember is this berry, which has a distinctive diaphoretic property.
It would seem that this alone is enough to make raspberries a regular for our kitchen - en, no! We strive to use every product for weight loss, and accordingly, to study how many calories in raspberries, to learn the biological value of the product (proteins / fats / carbohydrates), well, and, in the end, the vitamin composition.
Well, let's see how much raspberry meets our criteria for diet and low-calorie diet.
Caloric content of fresh raspberries
First of all, we must, of course, consider the caloric content of raspberry fresh - it is preferable to all other berry conditions. Fresh raspberries have an enviable vitamin composition:
- vitamin A and beta-carotene;
- vitamin C;
- vitamins B1, B2, B5, B6, B9, B12;
- vitamin E;
- vitamin H (biotin);
- vitamin PP.
Also it is necessary to say about the rich nutritional balance:
- calcium;
- magnesium;
- iron;
- cobalt;
- boron;
- copper;
- zinc;
- phosphorus;
- potassium.
All this is combined with a scanty caloric content of fresh raspberries - only 40-47 kcal per 100 g of berries. We also note the favorable ratio for weight loss of proteins, fats and carbohydrates :
- proteins - 0.8 g per 100 g;
- fats - 0.5 g per 100 g;
- carbohydrates - 8.3 g per 100 g.
You ask what all the rest goes for - 90 g of raspberry weight falls on juice and fiber!
In addition, the raspberry contains a lot of sugar - more precisely, its amount varies from the place of growth of the berry. So, the forest raspberry, ripened in shady groves, contains only 7-8% of sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose), and garden - about 12%. Therefore, the garden raspberry and sweeter than the forest (but not fragrant!).
Cultivated raspberries, oddly enough, have one more advantage over the berry - organic acids. Their garden raspberries contain much more, and the most important of these acids is salicylic, because it is at its expense that we run after raspberries in case of catarrhal-temperature cases.
What to do with it?
Or rather, from it:
- calorie compote of raspberries - 60-80 kcal (if cooked with the addition of sugar), 8-10 kcal - if without sugar;
- raspberry jelly 70 kcal per 100 g;
- Raspberry jam - 559 per 100 ml;
- raspberry jam "five-minute" - 350 kcal per 100 ml;
- raspberries with sugar - 150 kcal per 100 g.
Useful raspberry blanks
All of the above ways of consuming raspberries are certainly good and will even help to overcome colds, but they are unlikely to improve the deal with the figure. But two really useful pieces of raspberries can make anyone who watches their weight. This is raspberry and frozen.
Dried raspberries are exactly what you should call a diaphoretic. The best way to sweat and go on the amendment in the season ORZ - is to pour 100 g of dried berries 3 liters of boiling water and insist half an hour. Before going to bed, you should drink 200 ml of this infusion, of course, in a hot form. The calorie content of dried raspberries is 100 grams more than fresh berries (it becomes a kind of concentrate) - it is about 50-60 kcal.
Dried berries retain all the useful properties of freshly picked fruits. Keep it
And if your freezer does not allow you to do mass blanks, then the berries can be rubbed with sugar and clogged (without heat treatment) in sterile jars - these blanks can be stored for several months in the refrigerator. Well, and do not forget that a wide range of beneficial properties and have berries - from them, you should also prepare broths , and they, too, can be dried for the winter.
