If there is any fruit that could earn the right to be called low sugar and truly healthy
without qualifications, it is berries, particularly raspberries.

A single cup of raspberries comes loaded with five grams of sugar while having eight
grams of fiber.

This ratio approaches architectural perfection for those who are concerned about their
blood sugar levels.

Fiber in berries effectively mitigates the effect of sugars on the body, thus making them
a perfectly healthy choice for people suffering from diabetes and insulin resistance.

They offer you both taste and nutritional benefits.

Not far behind are strawberries with their seven grams of sugar in a cup.

While still offering substantial amounts of vitamins such as C, along with folate and
anthocyanins responsible for supporting cardiovascular system function, lowering
oxidative stress, and improving overall health.

Avocado is also considered to be a fruit even though it falls well into the vegetable
category.

Besides its very low sugar content (less than one gram per serving), it is packed with
healthy monounsaturated fats, potassium, magnesium, and fibers in a quantity that will
make vegetables jealous.

In terms of true fruits, avocado reigns supreme in terms of low sugar content and
quality nutrients.

Blackberries and blueberries both share similar sugar content with raspberries, with
blueberries being just a tad higher on the sugar scale, but still making up for that with
one of the most studied profiles for anthocyanins and antioxidants.

All these fruits have something else in common as well   fiber in its natural form, cell
walls undisturbed, and eaten whole and not squeezed and extracted into juices or
processed into jams.

This structure is key to making these fruits healthy as it provides a means to eat
sweetness without metabolic implications.

The fruits to avoid when watching your sugar intake include grapes, mangoes, bananas
ripened to full sweetness, cherries, as well as dried fruit where sugar concentration
becomes extreme as water leaves the fruit.

Eat your berries without hesitation. Eat them often. They provide one of those few
instances where there is no downside to eating what is considered healthy.
