Gooseberries, cooking, raw

Cooking gooseberries are a fruit; the figures here describe them raw, with the tops and tails removed. They consist mainly of water and provide carbohydrate, vitamin C and potassium, with small amounts of fat and protein. Per 100g, they contain 3g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugars, 14mg of vitamin C and 210mg of potassium, and provide 81 kJ of energy.

Vitamin C supports normal collagen formation and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Potassium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function. These figures apply to the raw fruit without added ingredients. Adding sugar during preparation increases the sugar and energy content, which is worth noting when comparing raw gooseberries with cooked dishes. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
