The stones are not eaten, but their weight is included in the basis for these figures. Per 100g, they provide 49g carbohydrate, all of which is sugars, alongside 6.3g fibre and 611mg potassium.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while fibre supports normal bowel function. Potassium contributes to normal muscle and nerve function.
