Though each is a perfectly healthy serving of fruit and both happen to pair wonderfully with peanut butter, one is far more sugary than the other. The average-sized apple, while lower in calories overall than an average-sized banana, actually has approximately five grams more sugar. But that doesn't mean the banana is the better choice. Most people don't fully understand that sugar is not all bad for you - and in fact, it takes a whole lot of overeating of added refined sugars to do any real damage to your health. The stress of worrying about sugar is probably doing more harm than the sugar you're eating, unless you're eating a trough of it every day. So read on to find out which fruits have the most sugar - but keep in mind that it's not really a big deal.

It’s news to no one that eating fruit is good for your health. That said, if you’re concerned with your sugar intake—be it because of diabetes or some other reason—not all fruits are created equal. For this reason, we spoke to Alyssa Wilson, registered dietician and Metabolic Success Coach with Signos, to get her top picks for low-sugar fruits that won’t spike your blood glucose levels. Before you start snacking on mother nature’s candy, though, Wilson says there are a couple other things to keep in mind—namely that when it comes to blood sugar levels, it’s always best to opt for the whole fruit instead of just drinking its juice, and that even low-sugar fruits can impact glucose levels when consumed as “naked carbs” (i.e., all by their lonesome), which is why Wilson recommends pairing fruit with a protein or healthy fat whenever possible.
