Sherbet comes from a fruit?

BathFullOfEels · 05/01/2021 11:49

I’m very, very sure that when I was at the Eden Project over the summer there was a fruit there that sherbet could be made from. I can’t remember if it was made from the fruit itself, seeds or the plant but I’m sure it’s plant based somehow.

I’ve had a Sherbet Dipdab for breakfast and I want to count it as one of my five a day. I can’t find any information online about its origin though. Can anyone help? Also does a cream tea count as one of my five a day if I use lots of jam?

Sherbet is sugar and bicarbonate!

No more than the chives on my pringles count, I'm afraid. 😂

Yes to both. Best to add some fruit gums to really up the intake Grin

Not strictly the same but 150ml of appletiser is one of your 5 a day (which means I was totally sorted when I drank the whole bottle a few days ago)

Well sherbet is sugar (made from sugar cane) and citric acid (made from lemons) so I would easily count that as 2 of your 5 a day. Plus obviously any flavour benefits, so orange sherbet has extra orange (1 serve), raspberry has raspberry (1 serve) and so on.

Well there is the sherbert berry tree from Asia that produces edible fruit, but it's not what you're eating😂
The is also a blue sherbert shrub which is part of the marijuana family and would give you a high, but again you won't find it in your dipdab😂

If you wash it down with wine ( grapes 🍇 !!) you'll get another of your 5 a day at the same time!
