Fruits with the highest sugar content

1. Fruits with high sugar content

Fruits are rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals and many other nutrients that are good for the body. However, fruit also has a certain amount of natural sugar. Some of the following fruits have more sugar than most common fruits:

1.1. Mangoes

When it comes to fruits with a lot of sugar, it is impossible not to mention mango. One mango has an average of 45 grams of sugar. This is a very large number, so mango is not a good choice if you are trying to control your weight or postprandial blood sugar.
If you like to eat mango but don’t want your body to consume too much sugar, eat a few slices and save the rest in the refrigerator to eat later.

1.2. Grape

Grapes are one of the sugary fruits. One cup (about 240ml) filled with grapes will have about 25 grams of sugar. Due to their small size, very comfortable to put in the mouth and delicious taste, when you eat grapes, you can eat them in uncontrolled quantities resulting in a large amount of sugar entering the body.
To reduce the amount of grapes you eat, you can cut the grapes in half and freeze them. Grapes will both become an attractive summer refreshment and help reduce the amount you eat.

1.3. Cherry

Cherries are sweet because they are high in sugar. One cup (240ml) of cherries has an average of about 18 grams of sugar. If you fill a large bowl with cherries, you won’t be able to keep track of how many cherries you eat and how much sugar you consume. Therefore, if you want to control your sugar levels, before eating, pour cherries into a measuring cup to estimate the amount of sugar your body will absorb into the body.

1.4. Pear

One medium pear contains 17 grams of sugar. If you’re trying to cut back on sugar, don’t eat the whole pear, just cut a few slices into low-fat yogurt or top a salad.

1.5 Watermelon

Watermelon is a delicious fresh fruit that helps provide water, electrolytes, vitamin A, vitamin C,… so it’s especially good for summer. However, watermelon is one of the fruits with a lot of sugar. A large piece of watermelon can contain up to 17 grams of sugar, so if you want to limit your sugar consumption, you should only eat 1-2 slices of watermelon per day.

1.6. Banana

One medium banana contains about 14 grams of sugar. If this is still a large amount of sugar in the diet, instead of eating a whole banana, eat half of it or just use a few small banana slices in dishes like peanut butter sandwiches,…

2. Low-sugar fruits

Besides high-sugar fruits, there are also very low-sugar fruits such as avocado, cantaloupe, raspberries,…

2.1. Avocado

A whole avocado has only about 1.33 grams of sugar. Butter can be used to make many dishes such as salads, spread on toast or cakes. Although low in sugar, avocado is high in calories, so you should not eat avocado too often if you are trying to control weight.

2.2. Raspberries

One cup (240ml) of raspberries will provide a large amount of fiber (about 8 grams) but only contains about 5 grams of sugar. Fiber is great for the digestive system, helping you feel full longer with fewer calories consumed. Raspberries are just the right size to enjoy one by one, or can also be eaten with yogurt, whipped cream,…

2.3. Cantaloupe

Cantaloupe fruit with fresh taste, many vitamins and minerals is very good for health. Another advantage is that cantaloupe is not a high-sugar fruit. Cantaloupe contains very little sugar, an average piece of cantaloupe contains only about 5 grams of sugar and 23 calories.

2.4. Papaya

Papaya is not a fruit high in sugar, so it is a fruit that can often be added to your shopping list that is limited in sugar. Half a small papaya contains about 6 grams of sugar. However, half a fruit is also quite a lot and you usually won’t eat it all at once, so the amount of sugar absorbed into the body will not be much. You can eat papaya with yogurt to make the dish more delicious and nutritious.

2.5. Strawberry

One cup (240ml) of strawberries has only about 7 grams of sugar. You can add strawberries to salads to make the dish more fresh and beautiful.
If you are under control or at risk of diabetes you need to avoid foods high in sugar. However, to ensure nutrition for your body, you can replace it with fruits that contain less sugar.
