Figs, dried, stewed without sugar

These figs are dried fruit that has been stewed in water without added sugar. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with some protein and small amounts of fat, alongside minerals including calcium and potassium. Per 100g, they contain 29g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugar, 2g of protein, 140mg of calcium and 540mg of potassium.

Although no sugar is added during stewing, the fruit still contains naturally occurring sugars, which contribute to its carbohydrate content. This is worth noting for people monitoring their sugar or carbohydrate intake. Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth, while potassium supports normal nerve and muscle function.
