Sugar in your Fruit

We're meant to eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day - ideally two of fruit and three of veg. But depending on your choice, you may be consuming more fructose - or fruit sugar - than you thought.

All values are for one piece of fruit, unless specified, and the figures in brackets show the equivalent amount of sugar. 

• Apricot 0.45g fructose (pinch of sugar)

• Clementine 0.5g (pinch) 
• Plum 1.6g (large pinch)
• Fresh fig 2g (1/2tsp) 

• Eight cherries 2.4g (1/2 tsp) 1 slice honeydew melon 3g (over 1/2 tsp)
• Kiwi fruit 3g (over 1/2 tsp)
• Orange 3.6g (over 1/2 tsp)
• Five strawberries 4g (1 tsp)
• Glass of orange juice 5g (1 tsp) 

• Banana 5.5g (1 tsp)
• Small mango 6g (1 tsp) 
• Grapefruit 7g (1 1/2 tsp) 

So.. You are in for a suprise!!!!
