Redcurrants, stewed without sugar

Redcurrants stewed without sugar are redcurrant fruit cooked with water and no added sugar. They mainly provide water, with some carbohydrate and smaller amounts of protein, alongside vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 3.8g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugars, 0.9g of protein, 26mg of vitamin C and 240mg of potassium. Fat and saturated fat are present only in trace amounts.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Potassium contributes to normal muscle and nerve function. Although no sugar is added during preparation, the fruit still contains naturally occurring sugars, which count towards total sugar and carbohydrate intake.
