Blackberries, stewed with sugar

Blackberries stewed with sugar are blackberries cooked with water and added sugar. In this form, they mainly provide carbohydrate, including sugars, along with fibre and some vitamin C. Per 100g, they contain 14g of carbohydrate, all recorded as sugars, 2.4g of fibre and 9mg of vitamin C. The energy content is 239 kJ per 100g.

Fibre helps support normal bowel function, while vitamin C is needed for normal collagen formation in tissues such as skin and cartilage. The total sugar content includes both naturally occurring sugars from the fruit and added sugar, which is worth noting for people monitoring their sugar intake.
