With just 0.2g of fat per 100g, it meets the UK/EU "low fat" nutrition-claim threshold. This makes it a lighter option for those monitoring their fat intake as part of a heart-healthy or weight-management diet.

It contains 41.0mg of vitamin C per 100g. The UK recommended daily intake is 40mg. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that supports immune function, skin health, wound healing, and enhances the absorption of non-haeme iron from plant-based foods.

Each 100g serving provides 4.3g of dietary fibre per 100g, meeting the UK/EU "high fibre" nutrition-claim threshold. The UK government recommends 30g of fibre per day for adults. Adequate fibre intake supports healthy digestion, helps regulate blood sugar levels, and may reduce the risk of heart disease and bowel cancer.

Each 100g serving contains 0.00g of salt, meeting the UK/EU "low salt" nutrition-claim threshold. The NHS recommends adults consume no more than 6g of salt per day, so choosing lower-salt foods like this one makes it easier to stay within that limit and supports healthy blood pressure.
