Plum Concentrate - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Plum Concentrate

• Metabolic Effect: Plum concentrate provides quick energy due to its high sugar content. However, it can rapidly increase blood sugar levels because it lacks fiber.
• Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming plum concentrate alone, you can help balance your blood sugar by consuming it with foods that contain protein and fiber. For example, it can be consumed with yogurt or nuts.
• Things to Consider: Due to its high sugar content, plum concentrate can cause weight gain. Therefore, it is important for individuals with insulin resistance or diabetes to pay attention to the amount they consume. One teaspoon (5g) of plum concentrate contains approximately 15 calories.
• Exercise Equivalent: You may need to walk at a light pace for about 20 minutes to burn the calories you get from plum concentrate. This helps balance your blood sugar and expend energy.
