Per 100g, they contain 3.8g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugars, 0.9g of protein, 26mg of vitamin C and 240mg of potassium. Fat and saturated fat are present only in trace amounts.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Potassium contributes to normal muscle and nerve function.
