Grapefruit, canned in syrup, whole contents

Canned grapefruit in syrup is grapefruit preserved in a sugar syrup. These figures describe the whole contents, including both the fruit and the syrup, rather than drained fruit alone. Per 100g, it provides 257 kJ of energy, 16g of carbohydrate and 30mg of vitamin C. The carbohydrate is supplied as sugars.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. The sugar content is worth noting for people monitoring their sugar or energy intake. Grapefruit can also interact with some medicines, affecting their levels in the body; this applies to canned grapefruit as well as fresh fruit. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
