Do you need to refrigerate jelly after opening?

no you don't have to refrigerate the jelly. Mostly the companies that make the jelly say that you have to refrigerate it because if someone were to get food sick from something (anything, not even the jelly) then its likely in this day-n-age of sueing that the jelly company will be sued because they didnt promote "good health" (much like mcdonalds having to put the caution warning that their hot coffee can burn because some manipulative woman in the early 90s sued McDonald for burning herself while drinking the coffee and "not knowing that it would burn". The real reason that you don't have to refrigerate jelly after opening it is because there is a high level of sugar (obviously) and when bacteria get in it (and they get in anything regardless if its refrigerated or not) they die because they lose water from their cells as the water goes to the sugar to satisfy homeostatis (an equillibrium for water concentration). When they lose enough water they shrivel up and die. This is something that the average microbiology student should know but they tend to still refridge it out of habit, much like refrigerating butter (you also don't have to refrigerate this, LOL! for real!)

Although one doesn't need to refridgerate butter, by doing so it will go rancid less quickly.Yes. If you do not refrigerate jelly you can receive salmonella poisoning from the heat of the jelly.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of fruit jam?

An advantage of fruit jam would be that it allows the fruit to be preserved and not go bad for an extended period of time. You are able to keep the fruit longer. Another advantage would be that it adds flavor to foods that one might not normally add fruit to. For example, bagels and toast.

A disadvantage of fruit jam would be the process of actually making it. It takes much longer to produce then going to the store and buying one prepackaged. Additionally, creating or buying jam would be more expensive then buying a piece of fruit.

Fruit will rise if the jam is too hot when you put it into jars. If you allow your jam to cool for 10 - 15 minutes before putting it into jars, it will thicken and the fruit is less likely to rise to the top.

What form of energy are you doing when eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?

Well, it really depends what kind of sandwich, and what kind of bread you are using (wholegrain bread has lots of fibre)- but there is always starch in bread which produces alot of energy.

However, if for example you had a:

Ham sandwich- protein from the ham, starch from the bread, calcium & fats from the butter/marge (if you like it like that)

Cheese sandwich- calcium from the cheese, starch from the bread.

ect, ect.

Hope this helps!

How is it healthy because is has NO protein? Protein is good for you? Last time I checked, it had more than 3 grams of sugar and that's it. No vitamins or protein or any good stuff, all bad/empty calories. So no, it is not good for you in any way, there are worse things you could be eating though, at least it doesn't have partially hydrogenated oils in it.
