The sweeter the fruit, the higher the sugar content? How many years have we been cheated...
We all know that eating more fruits and vegetables is good for the body. However, many people worry that if the fruit eats more blood sugar, it will rise, causing diabetes and getting fat.
The sweeter the fruit, the higher the calories? Is it the sweeter fruit, the higher the sugar content, the higher the calorie?
actually not. For example, Hawthorn, which is often considered to be a good weight loss product, has a sugar content of up to 22%; the dragon fruit that tastes less sweet is also more than 10% sugar. On the contrary, watermelon tastes very sweet, and people often feel that its sugar content is very high, but in fact its sugar content is only about 6%, less than 1/3 of the hawthorn.
Then why do you taste the sweet fruit, the heat is low; but the fruit that tastes faint, but the heat is so high? There are two main reasons:
First, the sugar composition in the fruit is different. There are three main types of sugar in fruits: fructose, sucrose, and glucose. They not only differ in chemical structure, but also have different sweetness. From high to low are: fructose (1.7 times sucrose sweetness) > sucrose > glucose (0.7 times sucrose sweetness). It can be seen that in fruit, the higher the proportion of fructose content, the sweeter the taste.
Second, the flavor substances in the fruit are different. The sweetness of a fruit is determined not only by its sugar content, but also by the composition of its flavor. For example, organic acids such as citric acid and malic acid, tannins with a certain astringency, and inorganic salts such as potassium salts and sodium salts, the first two can effectively reduce the sweetness brought by the sugar, and the potassium salt, Sodium salt can significantly increase the sweetness of the fruit.
Which fruits are delicious and not easy to gain weight?
It is not reliable to judge the sugar content of fruits by simply tasting the sweetness. According to sweetness and calories, we can roughly divide the fruits into four categories:
Very sweet, but low in calories
Watermelon, mulberry, grape, apple, strawberry, papaya, etc. are typical representatives of these fruits. Although they are sweet, the sugar content is not high. These fruits can greatly satisfy the needs of friends who love sweets but are afraid of fat.
Not sweet, and low in calories
Most of these fruits often have obvious sour taste, such as lemon, grapefruit, carambola, bayberry, etc. Although they are low in calories, they are mostly too sour. Also, be careful not to eat on an empty stomach for a long time, otherwise it is likely to cause damage to the stomach.
Not sweet, but high in calories
These kinds of fruits are the deepest hidden undercover in the fruit world. Most of them are not "flavored", or not sweet, or slightly sour: such as dragon fruit, hawthorn, orange and so on.
Very sweet and high in calories
This kind of fruit is the most honest kind, mainly representing fresh dates, lychees, bananas, etc. These fruits have high sugar content, and people who are losing weight and diabetics should not eat more.

Mulberry. Remember the mulberry tree at the edge of the field? When I was a child, I liked to bring a pocket to the edge of the field to pick it. Then I ate it with a mouth full of black, and my hands were also black, but the mulberry was really delicious, and the juice was sweet. Mulberry contains nutrients such as tannic acid, fatty acids and malic acid, which can help digestion, absorption and absorption of fat, protein and starch, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and enhance intestinal movement. And just introduced, mulberry is a sweet but low-calorie food!
