Sweet Spreads: Nutrition Facts and Calories
Sweet spreads are a diverse category of foods often used to enhance the flavor of meals and snacks. This category includes popular items like peanut butter, almond butter, other nut and seed butters, as well as fruit jams, jellies, preserves, honey, and various syrups. They are commonly enjoyed on toast, in sandwiches, or as ingredients in cooking and baking. When choosing sweet spreads, the Nutrition Facts label and ingredient list can help you make informed decisions. Pay attention to "Added Sugars," as many products in this category contain them. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting added sugars. For sodium, the FDA Daily Value is 2,300 milligrams per day; some nut butters can contribute to sodium intake. Look for products with higher amounts of dietary fiber, especially in nut and seed butters, which can come from whole nuts or seeds. The ingredient list can also show if whole foods, like peanuts or fruit, are the primary ingredients. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
