About Jam
Jam is a sweet and versatile spread made from fruits, sugar, and sometimes pectin, a natural thickening agent. Originating from early food preservation methods, jam has been enjoyed across various cuisines worldwide, particularly in European traditions where it often accompanies bread, pastries, or meats. Typically crafted by boiling fruit and sugar, jam retains many of the natural flavors and colors of the fruit. It provides a source of quick energy due to its sugar content and contains small amounts of vitamins and antioxidants from the fruit used. However, jams can also be high in added sugars, making them less ideal for those monitoring sugar intake. Opting for varieties labeled "low sugar" or "100% fruit" can be a healthier choice. Jam is a convenient way to enjoy fruit flavors year-round and has carved a beloved niche in both everyday meals and gourmet pairings.
