The Shana Jam Carrot 820G is a sweet and flavorful carrot jam, packaged in an 820-gram jar. It is made from fresh carrots, cooked down with sugar and sometimes additional ingredients like lemon juice or spices to enhance the taste. The jam has a smooth, spreadable consistency with a vibrant orange color, offering a unique balance of natural carrot sweetness and a slightly tangy finish.

This product is ideal for spreading on toast, pairing with cheeses, or using as a filling in pastries and desserts. Its rich, natural carrot flavor makes it a distinctive choice compared to traditional fruit jams. The 820G size makes it suitable for household use or small-scale culinary applications.
