The trend of reducing sugar for health benefits has extended from processed foods to natural fruits.

 

Even Koreans, who love sweet fruits, are now seeking low-sugar options.

 

Fruits are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and dietary fiber.

 

However, they generally contain more sugar than vegetables, with significant variation in sugar content across different types.

 

The glycemic index (GI), which indicates how quickly a food raises blood sugar levels, also varies among fruits.

 

 

According to a study published in the Korean Diabetes Journal in 2015, tropical fruits like pineapples, mangoes, papayas, melons, and watermelons have high GIs.

 

Canned fruits and sugar-added dried fruits contain much higher sugar levels than fresh fruits.

 

 

 

For individuals needing blood sugar management or weight loss, it is advisable to choose fruits with low GIs.

 

Here are the top five low-sugar fruits:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Avocado

Avocado is technically a fruit, despite its lack of sweetness.

 

According to data from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, 100g of avocado contains only 0.6g of sugar.

 

It is packed with 11 vitamins, 14 minerals, and dietary fiber.

 

Avocados also contain 15-20% unsaturated fats, which are often lacking in other fruits.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Lemon

Adding lemon juice to meat or fish dishes can enhance flavor and eliminate unpleasant odors.
