Frozen raspberries (for compote)
Description
Frozen raspberries for compote have an intense, sweet-tart flavor with a distinct note of forest aroma, and after thawing, they retain a deep red color and a delicate, slightly soft texture with small seeds. They are low in calories, rich in vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, especially anthocyanins, and also provide potassium and manganese; regular consumption supports immunity, has anti-inflammatory effects, and positively impacts digestion and vascular health. In the kitchen, frozen raspberries work great in compotes, dessert sauces, smoothies, jams, baked goods, and toppings, as well as an addition to yogurts and oatmeal. Store them in the freezer at −18°C in a tightly sealed package, avoid frequent thawing and refreezing; for best quality, use within 6–12 months and thaw in the refrigerator or directly during cooking.
