Ackee is a fruit eaten as a vegetable. The figures here are for canned ackee with the liquid drained off. It mainly provides fat, with smaller amounts of protein and carbohydrate, and also supplies vitamin C. Per 100g, it contains 15g of fat, 2.9g of protein, 30mg of vitamin C and 0.6g of salt.

Fat contributes to the energy content of ackee, which is worth noting when considering overall energy intake. Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods.
