fruit extract.

Per 100g, fruit extract typically contains about 250 calories, 60g of carbohydrates (mostly natural sugars), 0.5g of protein, and 0.1g of fat. It's primarily a source of concentrated sugars and beneficial plant compounds, not significant macronutrients like protein or fiber.

Most fruit extracts are naturally vegan and gluten-free, as they are derived solely from fruit. However, it's always best to check the product label to ensure no animal-derived processing aids or gluten-containing additives were used during manufacturing.

The taste of fruit extract is a highly concentrated version of its source fruit. It can range from intensely sweet to tart, depending on the specific fruit (e.g., apple, cherry, cranberry) and the extraction process. It provides a potent burst of fruit flavor.

Fruit extracts, especially in liquid or powder form, should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keeping them in an airtight container helps maintain their potency, flavor, and extends their shelf life.

Fruit extract is a highly concentrated form of the fruit's beneficial compounds, often with most of the water and fiber removed, resulting in a potent flavor and nutrient profile. Fruit juice, while also from fruit, contains more water, natural sugars, and sometimes pulp, making it less concentrated in comparison.

Due to its high carbohydrate content (60g per 100g, primarily from natural sugars), fruit extract is generally not considered keto-friendly. Even small amounts can contribute significantly to daily carb limits on a ketogenic diet, making it unsuitable for strict keto followers.
