04.03.2020 Buffet table

Probably, there are no such people among the inhabitants of Russia who at least once in their life have not tried such a non-alcoholic drink as compote. Compote got its original name from the French language and the word compote.

In the old days, compote was a dessert drink made from fruits, dried fruits, herbs or berries based on honey, sugar syrup or molasses. The first who began to make compote were French chefs. In Russia, there was a kind of stewed fruit, which was called a brew.

Compote composition

I would like to note right away that the calorie content of the compote directly depends on the ingredients included in it and, of course, on the amount of added sugar.

It is noteworthy that the Russian type of compote, called vzvar, was served on festive and special occasions. For example, on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. The main feature of the brew was the way it was produced. The fact is that the broth was not cooked like a compote, but insisted. Therefore, in the manufacture of the broth, dried fruits were most often used.

The type and calorie content of compote depend primarily on the ingredients included in it. The main types of compotes can be distinguished - fruit and berry compotes, the calorie content of which is in some cases high; fruit compotes, the calorie content of which is high, since most fruits contain a lot of sugar; low-calorie dried fruit compote; canned compotes; Maceduan is a drink made from one type of seasonal fruit.

Calorie content of apricot compote

How many calories are in compote? This is the question many dieters ask themselves. The fact is that the calorie content in compote directly depends, as noted above, on the ingredients included in it. But besides the calorie content, compotes carry many benefits for the body. Let's analyze this using the example of the calorie content of apricot compote.

The calorie content of apricot compote is 85 kilocalories. Such an indicator of the calorie content of the compote is low, so people who are on a diet, being interested in the question of how many calories are in the compote, can safely include it in their diet.

In addition to the low calorie content of apricot compote, it contains many vitamins useful for the body.

This compote is recommended for metabolic disorders, as well as for the normalization of the gastrointestinal tract, which contributes to weight loss. Apricot compote normalizes the acidity of gastric juice, and also removes toxins from the body and is indicated for inflammation of the kidneys.

In general, the ingredients for compote can be completely different, but for people who want to lose weight, it is better to drink compotes without sugar.

How many calories are in compote without sugar? The calorie content of compote without sugar, for example, from dried fruits, is only 44 kilocalories.

The calorie content in sugar-free compote from apricots with cherries is only 8 kilocalories. The calorie content of sugar-free compote from plums and apples is only 9 kilocalories. As you can see, the calorie content of sugar-free compote is the lowest, so people who monitor their weight should use just such compotes.

The benefits of compote

In addition to the question of how many calories are in compote, people are often interested - is there any benefit when consuming compotes, because fruits are heat-treated?

An interesting fact is that to this day, in stores throughout France, you can buy different types of drink, which differ in composition. Some types of compotes are even considered medicines that are used for the prevention and treatment of various diseases. The calorie content of compote, as mentioned above, depends on the ingredients.

In addition, the calorie content of the compote depends on the amount of sugar. The main benefit of compote lies in the chemical composition of the product. Basically, compotes are made from berries and fruits containing a large amount of useful minerals and vitamins. Based on this, it follows that the benefits of compotes are obvious, despite the heat treatment.

Apples are the most popular fruits in Russian latitudes. Researchers believe that the birthplace of apple trees is Central Asia. Today, apple trees are cultivated on an industrial scale in many parts of the world.

Apples also have a special place in the world culinary tradition. Today there are a huge number of different recipes for using apples, including drinks. Apples are ideal for making compotes. They can be called a universal fruit, from which a refreshing cool drink is prepared in summer and a vitamin compote for the winter. The calorie content of apple compote is 93 kilocalories.

The benefits of apple compote

Many housewives will agree that apple compote is the most popular type of home preservation. It should be noted that it has not only excellent taste characteristics, but also an excellent vitamin and mineral composition.

The calorie content of apple compote includes potassium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus and calcium. In addition, the calorie content of apple compote also includes vitamins of group B, PP, C, E. It should also be said that the calorie content of apple compote may vary slightly depending on the amount of sugar used in the process of preparing the compote.

Apple compote can be of great benefit to children, because apples do not cause allergic reactions. It is for this reason that apples are actively used in baby food. Such compote can become both a useful and tasty delicacy for both children and adults.

The process of making apple compote does not require large financial costs. To cook it you need apples, water and sugar. If you want to slightly reduce the calorie content of the compote, then you can put less sugar or use molasses or honey instead.

The apples are washed, then cored, cut into eight pieces. Place apple slices and a little sugar in boiling water and bring to a boil. After that, they are immediately removed from the heat so that there are more nutrients in the compote. The finished apple compote is cooled and served chilled.

Compote harm

Despite the low calorie content of compote and its usefulness, it can harm human health. The harm from it can be expressed in the occurrence of various allergic reactions. This usually happens if a person individually does not tolerate the ingredients that make up the compote.

A well-organized process of losing weight requires awareness of a wide range of information, in particular - you need to understand the energy value and calorie content of foods.

Certain favorite foods and drinks are often difficult to refuse, but sometimes it is not necessary to refuse. For example, the use of compote while losing weight is even encouraged. Let's figure out its calorie content per 100 grams and get acquainted with several delicious dietary recipes.

Can you drink compote while losing weight?

This drink is a low-calorie food (less than 100 calories per 100 grams) and does not contain fat, which allows it to be used in the process of weight loss. Even a decoction without sugar is rich in carbohydrates (only pineapple drink contains a small amount of protein), so compote for weight loss is best taken in the morning.

In addition, it is not only possible to use fruit and berry broth, but also necessary: the human body often lacks the most important vitamins and minerals during a diet. The benefits of compote consist in the content:

dietary fiber;
sodium;
phosphorus;
potassium;
magnesium;
gland;
calcium;
zinc;
vitamins C, B1, B2, B6, B9, E, PP

Magnesium and calcium accelerate metabolism and are essential for losing weight. Magnesium, in turn, is better absorbed in combination with vitamin B6.

Potassium and sodium help maintain water-salt balance in the body and get rid of edema. Dietary fiber is essential for comfortable digestion of food and proper functioning of the digestive tract.
