    How to Master the Perfect Fruit Turnovers?

    To create beautiful strawberry turnovers, it’s crucial not to overload them with filling. Otherwise, they might crack and release excessive strawberry pieces.

    Furthermore, the slits on top of the turnovers also help release steam and prevent them from becoming misshapen. Additionally, make sure the puff pastry is always chilled to prevent any deformation.

  • Lipids

    -
    Lipids (fats) are essential to your body. They are an important source of energy. However, an excessive consumption is associated with weight gain and higher risks of chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular problems. Unsaturated fats are preferable to saturated or trans fats.
  • Saturated fats
