Fruit and vegetable preserves: Nutrition Facts and Calories
This category covers fruit and vegetable preserves, such as jams, marmalades, and chutneys. These products are typically made by cooking fruit or vegetables with sugar, and may also contain other ingredients like spices, vinegar, or gelling agents. The ingredient list usually shows the main fruit or vegetable first, followed by sugar or sweeteners. Sugar content can vary significantly between products. The nutrition label provides details on energy, fat, saturates, carbohydrates, sugars, and salt per serving. For products high in sugar, the NHS Eatwell Guide recommends limiting intake. Salt is also declared on the nutrition label, though it is not a primary ingredient in most fruit preserves. Some preserves may also contain fibre, depending on the fruit or vegetable used and how it is processed. The presence and amount of added sugar is a key consideration when choosing products in this category. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
