Marzipan, almond paste, added sugar

Smooth but firm confectionery paste prepared from ground almonds and sugar, that can be moulded or cut into various shapes.

The majority of nutrients including proximates, minerals, carbohydrates, dietary fibre, vitamins and fatty acids were derived from a composite sample of 6 purchases (3x unbranded and 3x Odense) of marzipan from supermarkets in SA in 1989 (AGAL, 1990). Cholesterol and retinol were imputed zero based on scientific literature. Folate and iodine were borrowed from the Danish food tables, record 1103. Note low sum of proximates - data should be used with caution.
