Fresh berries (optional)

Description

Fresh berries (optional) are small, round fruits with a vibrant color ranging from blue to deep purple, often covered with a delicate, light bloom. They have a concentrated, sweet-tart flavor with distinct forest notes and a juicy, soft texture that enlivens flavor compositions and adds an appetizing color contrast. Berries are low in calories, rich in fiber, vitamins C and K, and the mineral manganese, and above all, they are high in antioxidants from the anthocyanin group, which support the cardiovascular system and cognitive functions. They pair wonderfully with desserts, smoothies, yogurts, pancakes, salads, as well as sauces and baked goods, enhancing the taste and appearance of dishes. Store them in the refrigerator in a breathable container and do not wash before storing; use within a few days; for longer storage, freeze them spread out on a tray, then keep in a sealed bag.
