Damsons, flesh and skin, raw, weighed with stones

Damsons are a type of plum. These figures describe the raw flesh and skin, with the fruit weighed including the stones. Per 100g weighed this way, they provide 8.6g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugars (8.6g), along with 260mg of potassium and 5mg of vitamin C. They contain small amounts of protein and only traces of fat.

The sugars in raw damsons occur naturally in the fruit. Potassium supports normal muscle and nerve function, while vitamin C helps the body form connective tissue and absorb iron from plant foods. For people monitoring salt or saturated fat intake, both are present in small amounts. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
