The nutritionist pointed out the unexpected benefits of jam

Andrey Bobrovsky, a nutritionist, PhD, spoke about the differences between jam and jam and pointed out the benefits of the latter.

In an interview with Radio 1 on Wednesday, July 29, the expert noted that jam differs from jam not only in consistency, but also in composition, so these products have different effects on the body.

According to him, due to the peculiarities of the cooking technology, jam may be more useful in some cases. This applies to a product with a low sugar content that has not been subjected to prolonged heat treatment. In addition, pectin, a dietary fiber that improves digestion and promotes the elimination of toxins, is added to the production of jam. At the same time, due to the longer boiling time, jam usually has fewer vitamins than jam.

The expert stressed that it is impossible to unequivocally name one of the products more useful: it all depends on the recipe and cooking technology. At the same time, both jam and jam remain desserts, so they are recommended to be consumed in moderation.
