Sugar amounts in fruits

Many people following the LCHF lifestyle don’t eat fruit. I enjoy some raspberries with whipped cream (without sugar) now and then, but not too often since it triggers my sugar cravings. The best fruits to eat when following an LCHF lifestyle are strawberries and raspberries.

Sugar is easy to find on packages with the ingredients listed on them. But it’s not easy to remember or to know how much sugar is contained in fruits. Below is a list of sugar content in some common fruits.
