Cooking gooseberries are a fruit, described here stewed in water without added sugar. They consist mainly of water and provide small amounts of carbohydrate, along with vitamin C and potassium. Per 100g, they contain 91g water, 2.5g carbohydrate, 11mg vitamin C and 170mg potassium.
Vitamin C supports normal skin and connective tissue and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Potassium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function. Although no sugar is added during stewing, the fruit still contains naturally occurring sugars, which account for its carbohydrate content. Adding sugar would change the sugar and energy content. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
