A baked confection, typically loaf-shaped, incorporates a blend of fruit and nuts. Common ingredients include a specific pome fruit, a tropical fruit known for its potassium content, and various types of tree nuts. The preparation often utilizes a leavening agent, flour, sugar, and spices to create a moist and flavorful product. As an example, a slice might contain visible pieces of walnut, complemented by the distinct flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg.
The item offers a source of carbohydrates and fiber, depending on the composition of ingredients. The inclusion of certain nuts contributes healthy fats and protein. Historically, this type of baking provided a method for utilizing overripe produce, minimizing waste. The popularity of the item stems from its ease of preparation and its appeal as a comforting and satisfying treat.
