Dary Natury Sea Buckthorn Jam 200 g

Product overview

Dary Natury's organic jam combines sea buckthorn with rosehip in a fruity blend with a distinctive character. Sea buckthorn makes up 36 per cent and rosehip 20 per cent of the contents. Both fruits are included as purée and whole fruit, giving the jam a combination of fruity richness and pieces of fruit. The product is pasteurised and sweetened with sugar.

Dary Natury is the brand behind the jam, but the information available here does not describe the company's history or any particular manufacturing philosophy. Based on the product information, we can say that several of the ingredients come from organic farming. This makes the jam an option for those who want to choose an organic fruit product and enjoy the combination of sea buckthorn and rosehip. It works just as well at the breakfast table as in simple snacks and baking.

One distinctive detail is that the recipe uses both purée and whole sea buckthorn and rosehip, rather than relying on a single fruit ingredient. Per 100 grams, the product contains 203 kcal and 36 grams of sugars. The nutrition declaration also states 209 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams. These are details about the product's contents, not a promise of a particular effect. The pack size is shown in the product name: 200 g.

Active ingredients & science

This is a jam, not a food supplement. The main ingredients are sea buckthorn and rosehip, which together account for a large proportion of the fruit content. The recipe also contains sugar, water, quince purée and agar. According to the nutrition information, 100 grams contains 209 mg of vitamin C, equivalent to 261 per cent of the nutrient reference value. This amount refers to the finished product and may be useful if you are comparing nutrition declarations.

No chemical form or information about the bioavailability of vitamin C is specified in the source data. It is therefore not possible to describe these properties in more detail. No specific standardisation of the fruits is stated either. See the ingredients list and nutrition declaration on the packaging for complete product information, and bear in mind that the jam also contains sugars.

Benefits & uses

The jam is an easy way to add a fruity flavour to meals and snacks. It is particularly suitable for those who enjoy the distinctive taste of sea buckthorn and rosehip and want a ready-made jam to serve straight away. Here are some practical ways to use it:

• At breakfast: spread a thin layer on bread or toast, or serve the jam with porridge.
• In yoghurt or plant-based alternatives: stir in a spoonful for fruity flavour and colour.
• As an accompaniment: serve the jam with pancakes, waffles or other dishes that pair well with a sweet, fruity contrast.
• In baking: use it as a filling in biscuits, for example, or as a layer in a dessert.
• For a simple snack: pair it with bread or another accompaniment you usually eat between meals.
• To add variety to the breakfast table: choose it instead of a more traditional berry jam and try the combination of sea buckthorn and rosehip.

It may suit households that appreciate organic ingredients and want a jam with a different fruit profile from the most common berry varieties. As the product contains sugar, it is worth taking this into account when planning meals or comparing products. Use it as a food and choose an amount according to your taste and other eating habits.

This is a jam and no dosage is specified. Serve to taste as a spread, accompaniment or ingredient in cooking and baking. No particular time of day for use is specified, nor are there any instructions about taking it with or without food. It can simply be included in a meal or snack in whatever way suits you.

If you want to use the jam in a hot dish or in baking, mix it in like an ordinary jam, taking the recipe into account.
