Damsons are a type of plum. The values here describe the raw flesh and skin, without the stone. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with 9.6g per 100g, all of which is sugar. They also provide potassium at 290mg and vitamin C at 5mg per 100g. Their energy content is 162 kJ per 100g, with only trace amounts of fat and saturated fat.
The sugars in raw damsons occur naturally within the fruit. Potassium supports normal nerve and muscle function, while vitamin C helps the body form collagen and absorb iron from plant foods. Cooking damsons with added sugar changes their sugar and energy content, so these values do not describe sweetened preparations. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.

About these figures
Values are per 100g of the food as described (Flesh and skin). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
