What does the product contain?
Mek's freeze-dried lingonberry powder consists entirely of berries. Whole lingonberries have been used, which means that our powder contains berry seeds and pulp.
Despite the sour taste, there are a lot of sugars , up to a maximum of 10-12%. Of the various sugars, fructose is the most abundant, which is known to be the sweetest sugar. In addition to sugars and acids, ripe lingonberries also contain proteins and minimal fats. Among the micronutrients, lingonberries contain various vitamins, the most important of which is vitamin C, although it is relatively small compared to other berries, and lingonberries also contain carotenoids and bioflavonoids. Benzoic acid is the most well-known ingredient in lingonberries. Benzoic acid and its salts have an effect that destroys microbes as well as suppresses their activity. The acid in question and its sodium, potassium and calcium salts act particularly effectively on microbes at low pH values, i.e. in an acidic environment.
How to use it?
Mek's lingonberry powder is ground into fine flour, which makes it convenient to add it to food.
Freeze-drying has been used in the processing of lingonberries, which means that all the valuable nutrients of the fresh berries remain. Thanks to this, Mek's berry powders are a good way to give your smoothies and baked goods a beautiful color, a pleasant berry taste and extremely useful nutrients.
