Lemon curd

Lemon curd is a sweet spread usually made with lemon juice, sugar, eggs and butter. The figures here describe jarred lemon curd. It mainly provides carbohydrate, much of it as sugars, along with some fat. Per 100g, it contains 58g of carbohydrate, including 53g of sugars, and 4.9g of fat. Its energy content is 1126 kJ per 100g.

The sugar and energy content are worth noting for people monitoring their intake. Sugar contributes to tooth decay, particularly when sugary foods are eaten frequently. Although lemon juice is an ingredient, these data show only a trace of vitamin C, so lemon curd is not a meaningful source of this vitamin. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
