Plums, average, flesh and skin, stewed without sugar

Plums are a stone fruit. The figures here describe the flesh and skin stewed in water without added sugar, with the stones removed. They mainly provide water and carbohydrate, with little fat or protein. Per 100g, they contain 87g of water, 7.3g of carbohydrate, 7.3g of sugars and 200mg of potassium.

The sugars in this preparation occur naturally in the fruit; stewing without added sugar does not make it sugar-free. This is relevant when considering total carbohydrate or sugar intake. Potassium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function. The figures apply to the preparation described, rather than plums stewed with added sugar or served with other ingredients.
