Tag: Jaffa orange

According to nutritional data, a typical fresh Jaffa orange contains approximately 8.2 grams of natural sugar per 100 grams. This is naturally occurring fructose, glucose, and sucrose, which is absorbed differently by the body compared to processed, added sugars.

A single McVitie's Jaffa Cake contains approximately 46 calories, but this is a very different answer to the calorie count found in a fresh Jaffa orange. The ambiguity surrounding the word "jaffa" means that anyone counting calories must first confirm which item they are actually consuming.
