Pot of jam, a popular sweet spread, is traditionally made by cooking fruits like strawberries, raspberries, or apricots with sugar until thickened. Originating from European cuisine, jam has been cherished globally for its versatility in breakfasts, desserts, and snacks. Most jams contain natural fruit sugars combined with added sugars, resulting in a concentrated source of energy. While it provides vitamins and antioxidants from the fruit, particularly vitamin C and polyphenols, its high sugar content makes it less ideal for those managing blood sugar levels or seeking low-calorie options. Some modern varieties offer reduced-sugar alternatives using sweeteners. Jam is fat-free, making it an accessible sweet treat when consumed in moderation. To maximize nutritional benefits, opt for jams made with minimal processing and real fruit ingredients.
