Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Black Currant Jam

Metabolic Effect: Due to its high sugar content, it rapidly increases blood sugar and provides instant energy. However, this can cause a quick drop in blood sugar and renewed hunger.
Consumption Suggestion: Instead of consuming it alone, consume it with fibrous foods such as whole wheat bread or oatmeal to ensure a more balanced rise in blood sugar. Adding a protein source (cheese, yogurt) is also beneficial.
Things to Consider: Black currant jam should be consumed carefully by diabetics due to its high sugar content. One tablespoon of jam contains carbohydrates equivalent to approximately 2 slices of bread.
Exercise Equivalent: Consuming one tablespoon of jam can be burned off by about 15 minutes of brisk walking. This is important for maintaining daily energy balance.
