Fruit pastes: Nutrition Facts and Calories
This category includes fruit pastes, such as tamarind, membrillo, and pate de fruits. These products are typically made from fruit, often with added sugar and sometimes other ingredients like pectin or citric acid. The ingredient list will show the proportion of fruit and any added sugars. Sugar content is a key consideration, as the NHS Eatwell Guide advises that free sugars should not exceed 5% of total dietary energy. The nutrition label will provide details on sugars, calories, and fat content per serving. Some fruit pastes may also contain sodium, which is declared as salt on UK labels. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) recommends limiting salt intake to no more than 6g per day for adults. Fibre content can vary, and is often present in fruit pastes depending on the fruit used and the processing method. Checking the ingredient list for the primary ingredient being fruit is a common approach when selecting these products. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
