Jams: Nutrition Facts and Calories
This category covers a wide range of fruit preserves, including traditional jams, conserves, marmalades, and chutneys. These products are typically made from fruit, sugar, and sometimes added pectin or other setting agents. They can be used as a spread on toast or bread, as an accompaniment to cheese, or as an ingredient in baking and cooking. When choosing from this category, it's helpful to look at the nutrition label. Pay attention to the sugar content, as jams are often high in 'free sugars' (sugars added during processing or naturally present in honey, syrups, fruit juices and concentrates). The NHS Eatwell Guide advises limiting free sugars. The ingredient list can also provide useful information. Look for fruit listed as the first ingredient, which indicates it's the primary component. Some products may also contain added salt, so checking the salt content on the label is also advisable, with adults advised to consume no more than 6g of salt per day. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
