Fruima Fruit Syrup
What it is
Fruima Fruit Syrup is a concentrated liquid sweetener infused with the essence of various fruits. It is typically made by combining fruit juice or fruit extract with sugar and water, then reducing it to a syrupy consistency. This process intensifies the fruit flavor and creates a thick, pourable liquid. It is often used to add sweetness and a distinct fruity taste to a wide range of dishes and beverages.

Experiment with different amounts to achieve your preferred level of sweetness and fruit intensity. It can also be incorporated into baking recipes for added moisture and flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
