Strawberry jam is a sweet preserve made primarily from strawberries, sugar, and pectin, a natural thickening agent. This popular spread originates from European cuisines and has become a staple worldwide, enjoyed on bread, pastries, and as a versatile ingredient in desserts. Rich in natural fruit sugars, strawberry jam offers a concentrated dose of strawberry flavor, along with a small amount of vitamin C and antioxidants from the fruit. However, its high sugar content can outweigh its nutritional benefits, making moderation key for those watching their sugar intake. Commercial varieties may also include additives or preservatives, while homemade strawberry jam often provides a cleaner option. While not considered a health food, it can be a delightful treat and a source of quick energy, particularly when paired with whole-grain bread to balance its sweetness.
