The 4 Best Low-Sugar Fruit Options To Add To Your Diet

5/11/2021

People assume that fruit is great for you and you can eat as much as you want, but it’s not as simple as that. It’s true that fruit is packed full of important nutrients and you should eat it on a regular basis, but there are other things to consider. 

If you want to eat a more sustainable diet, for example, you should think about where your fruit comes from and how it is grown. However, the main thing you need to worry about when eating fruit is the sugar content. Although the sugars are natural and not as unhealthy as processed sugar, too much sugar of any kind is bad for you. People often cut back on fruit if they are trying to stick to a low-sugar diet but that means they’re missing out on all of the fiber and nutrients. The best way to keep a balanced diet is to eat plenty of fruit but choose low-sugar options. These are the best low-sugar fruits to add to your diet.

Strawberries

People are often surprised by the sugar content in strawberries because they’re so delicious and sweet tasting. However, a cup of strawberries only contains 7 grams of sugar and it makes a delicious substitute for your favorite sweet treats. They’re also packed with lots of vitamin C, which is an important part of your diet. 

Blueberries

Blueberries are another delicious fruit to snack on and they contain low amounts of sugar. They’re more sugary than strawberries with 15 grams of sugar per cup, but as long as you don’t eat too many, they’re great for you. They’re particularly good for making jam because you can make blueberry jam without pectin, which is healthier. Pectin requires a lot of sugar to activate, so when you add it to jam, you also have to put a lot of sugar in. However, blueberries contain a lot of natural pectin, so you don’t need as much additional sugar. Although you shouldn’t eat too much jam because of the sugar, homemade blueberry jam is the best option when you do want to have it. 

Avocados

Avocados are considered a fruit because of the large seed in the middle. They’re an incredibly healthy food that is packed with lots of healthy fats and plenty of nutrients. A whole avocado has a single gram of sugar in it, so if you want the other benefits of eating fruit without the sugar, they are a great option. There are all sorts of delicious recipes you can make with avocado but they’re also good for snacking on instead of fruit with more sugar.

Apples

There’s a reason that people say an apple a day keeps the doctor away. They’re great for your health and a single apple only contains 19 grams of sugar. People often make the mistake of drinking fruit juice instead of eating fruit, but this will only increase your sugar intake. A glass of apple juice has around 24 grams of sugar in it and you get less fiber, so it’s best to just have an apple instead. 

Fruit should always be a part of a healthy diet but it’s also important to manage your sugar intake. These low-sugar options are the perfect way to do that.
