Cherries, canned in syrup, whole contents

These are canned red and black cherries preserved in syrup. The figures describe the whole contents, including the syrup, rather than drained fruit alone. They mainly provide carbohydrate in the form of sugars. Per 100g, they contain 19g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugars, with 305 kJ of energy and 2.9mg of iron. Fat is present only in trace amounts.

Sugars contribute to energy intake, and the syrup is worth noting for people monitoring their sugar or energy intake. Draining the cherries changes the balance of fruit and syrup, so these figures do not describe drained cherries. Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood.
