Treacle, black

Black treacle is a thick, dark syrup produced during sugar refining, described here as the syrup itself rather than as an ingredient in a prepared food. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 67g of carbohydrate and 67g of sugars per 100g. It also provides minerals, including 550mg of calcium and 14mg of iron per 100g.

Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth, while iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. The sugar in black treacle contributes to free sugar intake, which is relevant for people monitoring sugar or energy intake. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
