Density 86 · +5 vs Fruits & juices medianFrozen loganberries score 86 of 100, a Strong result at rank 24 of 60 in Fruits & juices, running 55 calories per 100 g. Dietary fiber is the strongest point at 19% DV, with vitamin C close behind at 17% DV, a solid pairing for a fruit that isn't widely stocked fresh.
Loganberries, a cross between raspberries and blackberries, are most often sold frozen since the fresh fruit is fragile and rarely available outside specialty growers, and they work well in jams, pies, or blended into smoothies. A one-cup unthawed (147 g) serving carries 5.3 g of fiber and 7.7 g of sugar. Because they're a niche berry, sourcing them outside frozen fruit aisles or farmers markets can be the main obstacle to using them regularly.

In the kitchen and how to use it
Loganberries are a blackberry-raspberry cross with an elongated shape, deep red-purple color and a flavor that leans tarter than either parent, which makes them well suited to cooking with a bit of sugar rather than eating raw by the handful. Frozen loganberries go straight into pies, crumbles and cobblers without thawing, or can be simmered into a jam, coulis or syrup to spoon over yogurt, pancakes or ice cream. They also blend well into smoothies straight from frozen, or can be thawed briefly and folded into muffin batter, since their firm seeds and tart edge hold up better cooked or blended than eaten plain.
Because loganberries are usually sold frozen rather than fresh in most markets, look for bags with individually frozen berries rather than a solid clump, which signals they were frozen quickly and have not thawed and refrozen in transit; keep them frozen until ready to use. A cup, unthawed, 147 grams, provides 55 calories with 5.3 grams of fiber, 19 percent DV, and 17 percent DV of vitamin C, along with 7.7 grams of sugar, making them a fairly low-calorie way to add fiber and bulk to a bowl of yogurt or a smoothie. Their tartness also means less added sugar is usually needed than with sweeter berries when baking.
