Strawberry puree

Strawberry puree is a culinary preparation consisting of fresh strawberries crushed until a smooth and homogeneous texture is obtained. This ingredient is commonly used in recipes for desserts, sauces, and beverages to provide a sweet and refreshing flavor, as well as a vibrant natural red color.

Strawberry puree comes from the strawberry, a fruit native to temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, although today it is widely cultivated in many parts of the world, including Latin America. Its use in cooking is very popular for its versatility and characteristic flavor.

Among its properties, its content of vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber stands out, which promote digestive health and help strengthen the immune system. Furthermore, it is low in fats and calories, making it a healthy ingredient for various preparations.

In Hispanic America, strawberry puree may also be known as thick strawberry juice or liquid strawberry preserve, depending on the country and the consistency given to the crushed fruit. However, "strawberry puree" is the most common and recognized term in culinary recipes.
