Yes, cooking results in a certain loss of nutrients from fruits and berries.

The degree of loss depends on:

— cooking time.

Cook the fruit until it is soft and retains some texture.

- method of preparing ingredients

Cut fruit into large pieces. Small pieces expose a larger surface area to heat and air, resulting in greater nutrient loss.

— time of consumption.

Cooked fruits should be consumed immediately after cooking to minimize nutrient loss due to oxidation.

Benefits of the drink:

• Easy to digest, especially if the fruit is cooked until soft. This can be beneficial for people with digestive issues or those who have difficulty eating raw fruit.
• Nutritional value The fruits used to make compote are rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber.
• Convenience: the compote can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for several days.

Important:

• Moderation. The sugar content in compote can be high, so it should be consumed in moderation.
• Compote is NOT water. The drink contains calories, so it is in no way a substitute for water.

Remember that eating a variety of fresh, raw fruits is still the best way to get nutrients.
