Just two ingredients, but sugar is the #1 by a wide margin, ahead of the oranges. A clean, old-fashioned preserve that is still basically fruit-flavored sugar.
Why this verdict
- Sugar is the #1 ingredient at 67g per 100g, ahead of the oranges
- Roughly two-thirds added sugar, a quick spike on toast
- Only two ingredients, both recognizable and simple
- No artificial colours, flavours, preservatives, or thickeners
- Real Seville oranges provide the only nutritional upside
Ingredients (2)
- Sugar (concerning) — Added refined sugar, listed high - spikes blood sugar with no nutrition.
- Seville Oranges (safe) — Real citrus fruit, the only redeeming nutritional content here - some vitamin C and pectin fiber, though most fruit benefit is overwhelmed by the sugar.
