Flavor Profile

Flavor & Texture

Rectangular Fruit Tart presents a pastry-like profile with a noticeable energy punch per serving, pairing a tender crumb with filling sweetness. It delivers a velvety richness that reads dessert-first, while still presenting a modest fiber and protein per serving. Strawberry Preserves is lighter and spreadable, offering fruity aroma and a smooth, glossy texture. The spread’s fiber per serving is higher than many jams, which can help a little with fullness, though the taste remains primarily fruity and sweet. If you’re after a quick, lighter bite, Preserves has the edge on calories and fat.

Ingredient Quality

Rectangular Fruit Tart lists nutrition per serving that suggests a dessert-style product, with higher energy and fat. Without the explicit ingredient list for A, we can’t comment on additives. Strawberry Preserves includes water, strawberries, polydextrose, maltodextrin, fruit pectin, locust bean gum, natural flavors, potassium sorbate, sucralose, calcium chloride, and red 40. The combination shows common gelling and preservation tech, plus a sweetener and color, which some shoppers may want to watch for.

Nutritional Value

Per serving, Rectangular Fruit Tart contains about 290 kcal, 14 g fat (6.92 g saturated fat per 100 g), 38 g carbohydrates, 23 g sugars, 2 g fiber, and 4 g protein. Strawberry Preserves shows 10 kcal per serving, 0 g fat, 5 g carbohydrates, 1.02 g fiber, and 0 g protein; sodium and salt are both 0 g per serving. The tart is energy-dense with more fat and sugar, while the preserves are a low-calorie, low-fat option with modest fiber. Protein is higher in Tart, but overall it’s a dessert-style product.

Value Verdict

For a quick choice, Strawberry Preserves offers a far lighter option with minimal calories and fat per serving, but it lacks protein and has limited labeling for sugars. Rectangular Fruit Tart delivers energy and a bit more protein, with higher fat and sugars per serving. If you want a dessert-style bite now, Tart wins on satisfaction and value per serving; if you want a small, lower-calorie spread to dress toast, Preserves wins on lightness and simplicity.

A Better Alternative?

Plain Greek yogurt with fresh berries, for a protein boost and dessert-like feel with natural fruit sweetness.
