Strawberry Jam

Organic strawberries are a rich source of vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber. Being organic, they are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, reducing potential exposure to harmful chemicals. They provide natural sweetness and flavor to the jam.

Organic cane sugar is a less processed form of sugar, retaining some molasses content. It is organic, meaning it is produced without synthetic chemicals, but it still contributes to high sugar content in the diet. While it provides sweetness, it should be consumed in moderation.

Apple pectin is a natural gelling agent derived from apples, used to thicken jams and jellies. It is a source of soluble fiber, which can aid in digestion and help maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Its natural origin makes it a preferable choice over synthetic thickeners.

Ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C, is used as a preservative and antioxidant in foods. It helps prevent oxidation and maintains color and flavor. While beneficial as a vitamin, its use in processed foods is primarily functional rather than nutritional.

Citric acid is a natural acid found in citrus fruits, used as a preservative and flavor enhancer in foods. It helps maintain acidity and prevents spoilage. While naturally occurring, its use in processed foods is primarily for preservation.
