About Mermelada
Mermelada, known in English as jam or jelly, is a sweet spread made by cooking fruit with sugar and sometimes pectin. Originating from European traditions, mermelada can be found in cuisines worldwide, often served with bread, pastries, or used as a filling for desserts. Popular fruits used include strawberries, oranges, and apricots. Nutritionally, mermelada provides natural vitamins from the fruit, such as vitamin C and antioxidants, but its healthiness depends on the sugar content. Traditional recipes can be high in added sugar, increasing caloric intake and potentially affecting blood sugar levels. Reduced-sugar or homemade versions offer a healthier alternative, allowing better control over ingredients. Opting for jams made with whole fruit or no added sugars can enhance its nutritional profile. While it’s a flavorful treat, moderation is key to enjoying mermelada as part of a balanced diet.
