Nutritional Values per 100g
Standard Serving
1 pahar (250ml) contains 113 calories.
Best time: Refreshing between meals, in moderation if watching sugar intake
Benefits
- ✓A good way to hydrate with less caloric intake compared to concentrated juices
- ✓Contains some of the vitamins and antioxidants of the fruit used, though reduced compared to fresh fruit due to boiling
- ✓A traditional option, free of artificial preservatives, when homemade
- ✓Can be prepared with reduced sugar for a much lower-calorie drink
Considerations
- !Sugar content varies enormously depending on the recipe - commercial or heavily sweetened compote can have double the values shown here (average values)
- !Prolonged boiling significantly reduces the vitamin C in fruit, compared to fresh fruit
- !Lacks the fiber of whole fruit - it's more of a sweet drink than a source of satiety
FitAzi Tip
FitAzi recommends preparing compote with less sugar (or none, letting the natural sweetness of ripe fruit shine) and eating the fruit from the compote along with the liquid, to also benefit from the remaining fiber. Avoid commercial versions with concentrated sugar syrup, which are much more caloric than homemade compote.
Frequently Asked Questions
Un pahar de compot (250ml, preparat tradițional, cu zahăr moderat) are aproximativ 113 kcal, provenite aproape în totalitate din zahărul adăugat și din zaharurile naturale ale fructelor. Caloriile pot varia mult în funcție de cât de dulce este preparat - un compot cu zahăr redus poate avea sub 60 kcal per pahar.
De obicei da, mai ales dacă este preparat cu zahăr moderat - compotul are aproximativ 45 kcal/100ml, față de 45-50 kcal/100ml la sucul de portocale natural, deci sunt comparabile, dar compotul comercial foarte îndulcit poate depăși semnificativ sucul de fructe natural. Pentru cele mai puține calorii, prepară compotul în casă cu zahăr redus.
