Let’s see which brand of fruit jam is used by the majority of experts!

What is the difference between past and present fruit jam?

Referring to fruit jam is referring to a rich and colorful culinary quintessence. Fruit jams possess a variety of flavors, depending on the type of fruit from which they are made. The most common are peach jam, strawberry jam, blueberry jam, mango jam, orange jam, calamansi jam, etc. because they are popular and well-loved fruits.

Fruit jams can be divided into 3 main types: sugar jam, mashed jam and frozen jam. Since ancient times, when there was no refrigerator, people created fruit jam to preserve the taste of seasonal fruits. The finished fruit jam has a high concentration of acid, which helps to keep the flavor for a long time without fear of bacteria invasion. Jam can also be easily transported, convenient for trade, helping many people enjoy new fruit flavors from other regions.

Along with the development of life, the position of jam in the culinary industry has also changed a lot.
