Strawberry jam is a sweet preserve made from ripe strawberries, sugar, and often pectin to achieve its thick, spreadable texture. A staple in many cuisines, it traces its origins to fruit preservation techniques dating back centuries, becoming especially popular in European and American breakfast spreads. It pairs wonderfully with bread, pastries, or yogurt. While strawberry jam offers a small amount of vitamins like Vitamin C and antioxidants from the fruit, its high sugar content raises concerns for overconsumption, especially for individuals managing blood sugar. Opting for jams with reduced sugar or no added sugar can make it a healthier choice.
