[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2133128, member: 372717"] Logically, weigh them before you stew them and then after. They won't gain carbs through being stewed (assuming you only add water), it's just there may be less (or more?) water in them after stewing..... Just be aware that blueberries are relatively high in carbs - 17g per 100g, while boysenberries are only 7g per 100g and blackberries are 10g. Dried fruit is bad (like fruit juice) because you can eat multiple dried fruits in one sitting, whereas the equivalent amount of undried fruit would take several days to consume. Personally, I pop frozen berries in the microwave for breakfast (effectively stewing them?) and then add unsweetened Greek yoghurt. Delicious and only about 10g of carbs. Enjoy your berries ! :) [/QUOTE]
