Jelly, made with semi-skimmed milk

Jelly made with semi-skimmed milk is a set dessert prepared using milk as part of the recipe. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with some protein and a small amount of fat. The prepared jelly contains 17g of carbohydrate, 17g of sugars, 2.6g of protein and 0.7g of fat per 100g.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. The milk also contributes calcium, which is needed for normal bones and teeth. For people monitoring sugar intake, the sugar content is worth noting: the total includes any naturally occurring milk sugars as well as sugars added in the recipe.
