Prunes, canned in syrup, whole contents

Prunes are dried plums; the figures here describe prunes canned in syrup, including both the fruit and syrup, with the stones removed. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with 23g per 100g, all recorded as sugars. Each 100g also provides 386 kJ of energy, 340mg of potassium and 2.2mg of iron.

The sugar content includes sugars from the fruit and the syrup, which is relevant for people monitoring their sugar or energy intake. These figures describe the whole contents rather than drained fruit alone. Potassium supports normal muscle and nerve function, while iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Full nutritional figures are given in the tables below.
