Jam and conserves producer Henry Jones & Co. has launched a new ‘Fruit and Chia’ range that combines fruits with the ‘superfood’ chia seed.
Henry Jones & Co, which is part of the SPC portfolio, said the range contains 50 per cent fruit and 4 per cent chia seeds. There are three flavours in the range: raspberry, mango passionfruit and blood orange. The Company said the range “contains 45 per cent less sugar than jam”.
Serving suggestions include on spread on toast, added to muesli and smoothies, stirred through yoghurt or porridge, or added to baked goods.
