why are they so good for you?
>>21888782because they're unaffordably expensive.air go, I have to snack on salami sticks and tater tots and race to the grave
Because we used to poop out the seeds and help their lifecycleGreat times
>>21888782>why are they so good for you?because the whole plant puts all their energy / nutrients into these small thingsalso less inbred compared to other common vegetables / fruits>>21888788>because they're unaffordably expensivenot really!?i get 1kg frozen berry mix for ~4€ at Aldithat's enough for about 1 weekeven the fresh fruit when in season (admittedly that just 3-4months/year)it's like 6-8€/kg for mixing it yourself with fresh berriesand if I feel fancy I can get the organic frozen ones for like 8-10€/kg depending on which berries
gonna try making strawberry sauce with frozen berries & corn starch, for yogurt and porridgelet's see
>>21888830As someone who has made strawbree and raspbree sauces for custard and cheesecake and the like I must say you likely do not need any cornstarch. if you really struggle with runny sauce use arrowroot to thicken it, much nicer and finer for a fruit sauce, won't make it cloudly, just makes it super shiny and adds no flavour of its own which is nice.BUT really, you should just be able to reduce it down to a nice syrup. Are going to to strain and press to make it an intense syrup or just leave the chunks in NY cheesecake style?Pic is a couple sauces I made, straberries just simmered and rasperries simmered and strained. The dark raspberry sauce was pretty intense stuff
>>21888807>frozentheyre cheaper frozen because they have no nutrients lol
>>21888782Micronutrients.
>>21888844How does freezing them make the nutrients evaporate?
>>21888848ask AI Dumbass im not your bot
>>21888853Well, you certainly don't have any thoughts of your own.
>>21888782>>21888853
>>21888844Berries are delicate and prone to spoilage, frozen results in a lot less waste which is probably why they're cheaper. I've noticed other frozen fruits and vegetables can be more expensive than fresh. And frozen is said to actually be more nutritious sometimes because things will be picked when ripe and then frozen, whereas fresh produce is often picked underripe and can sit on the shelf for a while both of which result in less nutrients.
>>21888844>theyre cheaper frozen because they have no nutrients lolliterally the opposite retard>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0889157517300418and you can find countless similar researchfreezing does not destroy any vitamin or mineralseven better, it preserves themand while fresh produce takes days / weeks to get from harvest to youfrozen stuff gets frozen usually just hours after harvesting, which preserves the nutrients a lot betterfrozen produce is cheaper because it's usually produced at the production height, so peak season when prices are lowand because it can be transported longer distances, so from cheaper countriese.g. most frozen raspberries in the EU are from Serbia (with some of the lowest wages in Europe) while fresh ones are from Poland, Germany, Spain etc.
>>21888844That's not at all how logistics work.
>>21888807>i get 1kg frozen berry mix for ~4€ at Aldi>that's enough for about 1 weekYou only eat 1kg of berries every week ?If you where to eat all your calories from frozen berries it would be quite expensive when compared to staple food (rice, wheat, potato's)
yall berry picker af
>>21888887Berry picker grug laughs while hunter grug gets scurvy and their teeth fall out
>>21888782are they or is someone just saying they are? post proof.buy an ad.
>>21888895not true meat is full of vitamin C as long as you don't over cook it.
>>21888844holy retard
>>21888900It doesn't have nearly as much vitamin C as berries and especially citrusYou get scurvy if you don't eat those
>>21888883sounds like poorfag problems.
>>21888883>If you where to eat all your calories from frozen berriesyeah but I don'tno one does>it would be quite expensive not even true you'd need like ~5kg -> 2500kcal to cover an average TDEEwhich is 600€/month>when compared to staple foodyes this is why you also eat staple foods...also because an all-berry diet doesn't really constitute as "balanced"
>>21888788Instead, you can have guava; it has the same nutritional value.”
>>21888844Instead, you can have guava; it has the same nutritional value.” it cheap too
>>21889023>Officially a fatass thread.keki literally have never seen a lardy on /fph/ (or irl) eat fruit as main component (i.e. where it wasn't decoration on ice cream)take your meds keto schizo
>>21888782blackberries are fucking magical
>>21888782antioxidants
>>21889149>does absolutely nothing
>>21889192>prefers oxidation>tough like iron, but withered away less than a century latera man of poetry, albeit an idiot
>>21888782Because they're wild and free and couldn't be tamed by the merchants.
>>21888869I always here this but how come they arent listed on the nutritional labels?
>>21888807>i get 1kg frozen berry mixCheck if they are from China. Then go get checked for hepatitis.
>>21889370why would they be from china?
>>21889388Why is anything from China?
>>21888788they are also EXTREMELY easy to grow yourself, given you live in a place with some kind of yard. particularly raspberries and blackberries, they are basically like wild weeds, i put just two branches of raspberry and two branches of blackberry around my fence 3 years ago and now they are growing out of control if i dont cull them now and then...its cool to just pick a handful of those whenever walking buy, i love em, my only issue is, they NEVER fucking get ripe at the same time, so you gotta follow them closely, or just pick the few that already are and eat them on the spot, they are kinda shit when preserved, at least i dont like em if heard blueberries are pain in the ass to grow tho, never tried em
>>21888799fucking amazing times. I love seedshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QwUkwUHGb4&t=899
>>21888832>toasted muffinMy brotha. That raspberry sauce looks like it has awesome flavor>>21888855Berry sourdough focaccia when?
>>21890117I did not know camels were in AustraliaPretty funny pest to have desu
>>21889346>always here this but how come they arent listed on the nutritional labelsin the EU, the standard required label only gives macros + salt + fiber by 100gvitamins and minerals only have to be provided if they are addedso why would Aldi spend money to test the fruit to add this to the label??fresh produces also doesn't list thisone big reason for both is also because produce varies widely from batch to batch and over timeal values you see online tested are averages over large quantities>>21889370yeahthough discounters / supermarkets in Germany mainly sell EU (adjacent) produceChinese stuff is luckily quite rare (except somehow for fucking garlic)
>>21889035The way you worded it is retarded, you say berries are "not really" expensive because you only eat 1kg a week, my point is, you can not live on 1kg of berries per week, you would need much more, it would be expensive.
>>21888844> implying anyone trying to make a buck gives a shit about nutrient content
>>21890484>im not european>ive never shopped at aldi>this is way before Ai youngblood
>>21890567I think they meant “all”, not aiAldis is in us as well, best discount store ackshually
>>21890550yeah and I'd be bankrupted within days if I got all my calories from vanilla seeds or saffron...what's your point?it doesn't make sense to calculate on a per calorie basis for things you eat for micronutrients and plant secondary metabolism compounds>you say berries are "not really" expensivebecause they aren'teven if you calculate on a (nonsensical) €/kcal basisyou'd come out at 600€/month to get all your calories from berries, which is only like twice what the avg person here spends on food
>>21890443ya literal Minecraft Mesa biome over there XD
>>21888782Is there any proof of this? Seems like not just eating meat, cheese, and bread is "good" for you.
>>21890646>yeah and I'd be bankrupted within days if I got all my calories from vanilla seeds or saffron...That's literally my point.
>>21890550Compared to fruits, frozen berries are pretty cheap. 4-6 €/kg is really not expensive. Even fresh berries can be in that price range when they are in season. I bought blueberries for 5 €/kg. You probably think of berries as expensive because for most of the year you see the prices for when they are not in season.
>>21889192>laughs menacingly
>>21890182>Berry sourdough focaccia when?Yes
>>21890677>Is there any proof of this?i feel good after eating a bowl of berries
>>21894072>eating a bowl of berriesi enjoy berries as much as most humans do, but "eating a bowl of berries" sounds like a euphemism for something unpleasant- "yea and because of that, i had to eat a big bowl of berries"- "what berries?"- "broken collarbone"
>>21888788>because they're unaffordably expensive.>he doesn't know that he can get a massive frozen bag of the exact blend in OP for less than $3/lb
>>21894080I do not agree, it sounds like the exact opposite to me.> we went to the park this weekend and it was a bowl of berries> a what?> a really nice timeNow, eating a bowl of lentils? That sounds terrible
>>21894233mh?mmmhyes - i have reconsidered and fully agree
