Why do we make raw jams? Jams are typically made by cooking sugar and berries. However, when heated, much of the vitamins of the fruit are lost, and the result is an acid-forming spread. It’s best to eat berries fresh or prepare a delicious raw jams to benefit abundantly from their nutrients.

Berries have a high content of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients such as flavonoids and anthocyanins (red, purple or blue pigments). Overall, they have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
