Peaches, dried, stewed with sugar

These are dried peaches stewed in water with added sugar. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with 26g per 100g, all recorded as sugars. This preparation provides 446 kJ of energy, 430mg of potassium and 2.7mg of iron per 100g. The figures refer to the prepared fruit and stewing liquid, rather than dried peaches alone.

The sugars include those naturally present in the fruit as well as sugar added during preparation, which is relevant when considering sugar and energy intake. Potassium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function, while iron is needed to make haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen.
