Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Homemade Cherry Jam

  • Metabolic Effect: Due to its high sugar content, it rapidly raises blood sugar levels and increases insulin secretion. This can cause a sudden energy boost followed by a rapid decline, which may trigger cravings for more sweets.
  • Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming it alone, consuming it with foods containing fiber and protein can help balance blood sugar levels. For example, it can be consumed with whole wheat bread or yogurt.
  • Things to Consider: One tablespoon of cherry jam is roughly equivalent to 1 slice of bread. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the amount consumed and to consume it in a controlled manner, especially by diabetics.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from one serving of cherry jam, you need to walk briskly for about 80-90 minutes. This will help you maintain your daily energy balance.
