Guava, canned in syrup, whole contents

Guava is a fruit; the figures here describe guava canned in syrup, including both the fruit and the syrup. Per 100g, the whole contents provide 16g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugars, 0.4g of protein and 180mg of vitamin C. Fat and saturated fat are present only in trace amounts.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and is needed to make collagen, which helps maintain skin, blood vessels and other tissues. The sugar content is worth noting for people monitoring their sugar intake. These values include the syrup and do not describe the drained fruit alone. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 samples. Drained proportion = 0.62). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: MW4, 1978. Values revised for Fruit and Nuts Supplement, 1992.
