Fruit jam is a sweet spread made from fruits, sugar, and pectin, which helps thicken the mixture. Originating in ancient times as a preservation method, it is now a staple in cuisines worldwide, used as a topping for bread, desserts, or even savory dishes. Common fruits used include berries, citrus, stone fruits, and apples, each contributing its own unique flavor profile. Jam is a versatile source of quick energy due to its sugar content and retains some vitamins and antioxidants from the fruit, depending on the preparation process. However, it’s often high in added sugars, so moderation is key. For a healthier option, look for "no sugar added" varieties or those made from 100% fruit. While fruit jam can be a delicious treat, pairing it with whole-grain bread or yogurt can offer better nutritional balance.
