Great Things To Know About Sugar In Fruit

Reminders that Make a Difference

Hashtag #AMCoffee

Let me state it right away – Fruits Are Great For You! With fruit juices, fiber, phytonutrients and minerals, we can gain great benefits eating fruit daily.

Like with any food, we need to educate ourselves about this fruit subject! One of the nutrients that fruit boast of is sugar. For some people, watching how much sugar they consume with every meal is critical. That is why, we need to know some things about the food we eat to make smart and wise decisions and plan our life as a happy experience.

Controlling blood sugar allows us to control our cravings that can push towards snacking – more often than not of the undesired food items. Choosing foods high in fiber can truly level out high and low spikes of “erratic” blood sugar behavior.

Some fruit, however, have low sugar content. Here are a few examples that jump into the picture right away.

AVOCADOS

This fruit has only half a gram of sugar on average! Yes, avocados are high in fats, but this is a healthy monounsaturated fats that are good for our bodies and lower LDL (bad) cholesterol. Slice fresh avos into your salads, sandwich, make a guacamole with it!

GUAVAS

An excellent low-sugar fruit that is truly an excellent combination of natural sugars and fiber. One little guava contains about 5 grams of sugar and 3 grams of fiber. That’s an exciting thing! It is more fiber than in a serving of brown rice! Eat guavas with skin, as it adds more nutrients and fiber into your body!

RASPBERRIES

These berries are my favorites! They pack 8 grams of fiber in a cup and only 5 grams of sugar! This is almost unheard of! Eat raspberries every day, and you’ll enjoy the flavor and fullness they bring to your hunger.

CANTALOUPE

Usually, melons are very high in sugar. Yet this one – a yellow cantaloupe – is an amazing one. It offers about 5 grams of sugar in a sliced wedge and and can be enjoyed frequently. Add some to your smoothie, too.

PAPAYAS

Half of a medium papaya has about 6 grams of sugar. But the benefits in this reddish fruit are abundant! Papaya is high in fiber and has that enzyme called papain that aids in digestion. Loaded with phytonutrients, it offers antioxidant effects and fights inflammation! What’s not to enjoy!

STRAWBERRIES

These berries are power houses packed with a gazillion of nutrients. These nutrients include vitamin C, folate (vitamin B group & is needed for healthy cell division as one of many functions), potassium, manganese, dietary fiber, and magnesium. A cup of fresh strawberries carries only 7 grams of sugar. They are great on your salads, in smoothies, and just as they are – pop them into the mouth fresh and yummy.

But let us dive into an amazing world of high sugar fruits, let’s learn from it and still enjoy the benefits they bring to our bodies and tastebuds!
