Not everything on the fruit platter is created equal. While we’re massive fruit fans here at Natvia, some definitely have more sugar than others! We rank the best fruits for when you’re trying to cut down on the sweet stuff, and which ones might be best kept as a ‘sometimes’ fruit.
Of course, we’re not saying you should stop eating fruit completely! It’s full of good stuff, and it’s still an important part off a healthy diet. You should also make sure you’re cutting down on food with added sugar, and drinks containing added sugars, before you tackle fruit.
So now you’ve stocked up on berries and watermelon, this whole no-sugar thing isn’t looking so bad! But which fruits aren’t so great when you’re watching your sugar intake? Mangos, cherries, grapes, figs and lychees all contain over 15 grams of sugar per cup. And the worst of the bunch? Dried fruit, like dates or dried apricots. Drying fruits concentrates the sugars, so you get far more than if you just ate the fresh fruit. Steer clear of fruit juices too, as they tend to be high in sugar and low in the good things that fruit gives you, like fibre.
