Reduced-sugar jam is a fruit preserve made with less sugar than standard jam. The figures here cover assorted flavours from several brands. It mainly provides carbohydrate in the form of sugars, with little fat or protein. Per 100g, it contains 32g of sugars, provides 523 kJ of energy, and supplies 1.7g of fibre and 26mg of vitamin C.
Reduced sugar does not mean sugar-free, and the sugar and energy content remain relevant for people monitoring their intake. Vitamin C supports normal wound healing and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Nutrient content can vary between products, so individual labels may differ from these values. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.
