Cherries, glace

Glacé cherries are cherries preserved with sugar, usually used in baking and cake decoration. The figures here describe red and multicoloured glacé cherries. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with 78g per 100g, and supply 1256 kJ of energy. They contain 0.4g of protein and 0.07g of salt per 100g, with only trace amounts of fat and saturated fat.

Carbohydrate provides energy for the body. The added sugar used in preserving glacé cherries is worth noting for people monitoring their sugar or energy intake, although a separate total sugar figure is not provided in these data. Glacé cherries differ nutritionally from fresh cherries, so these figures should not be used for fresh fruit. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
