Sloe Berries

Sloe Berries are small, tart berries from the blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) often used in British and European cuisines for jams, preserves and the classic liqueur sloe gin. They are known for their astringent, tangy flavor and are typically harvested in autumn after the first frosts to soften their taste. Nutritionally, Sloe Berries provide a modest amount of fiber and are a source of vitamin C (17mg per 100g), making them useful for adding acidity and antioxidant micronutrients to recipes. They are low in calories but fairly high in natural sugars compared with some other wild berries. These berries also contain plant polyphenols, which contribute antioxidant effects and astringency, and their fiber and natural compounds can help promote a feeling of fullness when used in preserves or cooked dishes. Overall they make a nutritious, flavorful addition to preserves, sauces and drinks when used in moderation.
