Jam
Jam is a sweet fruit preserve made by cooking fruit with sugar until it thickens; it appears in many cuisines as a breakfast or baking spread and is commonly called jam, preserves, varenye or povidlo depending on the region. Nutritionally it is sugar‑forward — containing about 48.5g of sugar per 100 g — with very little protein or fat and only small amounts of fiber and micronutrients, though some vitamin C and fruit antioxidants remain. As a pantry staple and topping, it provides fruit flavor and quick carbs but should be used in moderation because of its high added-sugar content; choosing lower‑sugar spreads or fresh fruit can retain the taste while reducing excess sugar intake.
