Damsons, stewed without sugar, weighed with stones

Damsons are a type of plum. These figures describe damsons stewed without added sugar and weighed with their stones. Per 100g, they provide 7.9g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugars, 0.4g of protein, 240mg of potassium and 3mg of vitamin C. They contain only trace amounts of fat and saturated fat.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while potassium supports normal nerve and muscle function. Vitamin C helps the body form connective tissue and absorb iron from plant foods. Although no sugar is added during stewing, damsons still contain naturally occurring sugars, which are relevant when monitoring carbohydrate or sugar intake.
