A clean, four-ingredient organic jam, but it's still mostly sugar. Lovely on toast, just don't kid yourself it's a fruit serving.
Why this verdict

Ingredients (4)
- Organic Strawberries (safe) — Real fruit, the lead ingredient. Brings actual flavor, fiber, and some vitamin C.
- Organic Sugar (moderate) — Added sugar, present in large amounts. Organic or not, your body treats it the same and this jar is roughly two-thirds sugar.
- Organic Sicilian Lemon Juice Concentrate (safe) — Used in tiny amounts to balance acidity and help the pectin set. Harmless.
- Pectin (Gelling Agent) (safe) — Naturally derived gelling agent; benign in these amounts.
