What to watch for when shopping
Fresh nectarines are NOVA 1 - just fruit, no processing. At 44 kcal per 100g they are one of the lower-calorie stone fruits. They have moderate natural sugar (8-9g per 100g) but the fibre slows absorption. Tinned nectarines in syrup are NOVA 3 with added sugar - choose tinned in juice if fresh is not available.
