5 Best Low-Sugar Fruits

Watching your sugar intake is a good idea, but taming your sweet tooth can be an incredibly difficult feat. 
 
Perhaps you’ve already cut out processed sugars, but didn’t realize how much sugar is contained in fruit. Or maybe you live with diabetes and want to know which fruits will have the least impact on your blood sugar.
 
While fruit also contains lots of other healthy nutrients, some varieties are higher in sugar than others. Learn which fruits are lowest in sugar content so you can satisfy your sweet tooth without breaking the sugar bank.
 
1. Lemons (and limes)
High in vitamin C, lemons and their lime green counterparts are fairly sour fruits. They don’t contain much sugar and are the perfect addition to a glass of water to help curb your appetite.
 
2. Raspberries
With only five grams, a bit more than a teaspoon of sugar per cup, and lots of fiber to help fill you up, raspberries are one of several amazing berries to make the list.
 
3. Strawberries
Strawberries are surprisingly low in sugar considering they taste so sweet and delicious. One cup of raw strawberries has about seven grams of sugar, along with over 100 percent of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C.
 
4. Kiwis
These odd fuzzy green-fleshed fruits are technically considered a berry too. Kiwis (or kiwifruits) are rich in vitamin C and low in sugar — with just six grams per kiwi. You can find kiwis all year-round at the grocery store.
 
5. Watermelon
Watermelons are the iconic summer fruit. They may seem like a treat, but they’re low in sugar. A whole cup of diced up watermelon has under 10 grams of sugar. A bonus of eating watermelon is it’s also a great source of iron.
 
These 5 low-sugar fruits contain between one and 13 grams of sugar, but remember that serving size makes all the difference.
