Fruit Spread

KEN Jam is a sweet, soft, semi-solid fruit spread made from a mixture of fruit pulp, sugar, pectin, and citric acid. It is an affordable, staple commodity in Kenyan households, valued for its energy-dense composition and palatable taste. For community health workers, dietitians, and primary care physicians, it serves as a practical, accessible tool for dietary management, providing a concentrated source of carbohydrates (approx. 239-278 kcal per 100g) to support weight gain in malnourished individuals, offer quick energy for those with poor appetite, and enhance the palatability of bland foods for the elderly and convalescing.
