Is pomegranate high in sugar?

Pomegranate contains 12%-17% sugar and about 70 calories (per 100g of edible flesh), which is a medium sugar content fruit and does not cause obesity in normal people. And obese people can also use pomegranate as a healthy sweet alternative to snacks, in which the sugar can not only provide energy for the body, but also help to lose weight. However, for patients with high blood sugar and diabetes, it is not recommended to eat it when the blood sugar control is unstable to avoid fluctuations in blood sugar. However, for patients with well-controlled blood sugar, they can be consumed in small amounts between meals after asking the doctor. In addition to sugar, pomegranate is also rich in vitamin C, B vitamins, organic acids, calcium, scales, potassium and other nutrients, so moderate consumption is beneficial to supplement nutrition. Moreover, pomegranate is rich in anthocyanins, polyphenols, vitamin C, linolenic acid and other substances, which have certain antioxidant effects and are helpful for delaying skin aging and repairing cell damage. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, pomegranate is also a herbal medicine, which has the effect of quenching thirst, clearing heat and detoxifying. It can be consumed by people with diarrhea, hepatitis and other digestive disorders, or after drinking alcohol, to help relieve nausea and vomiting. However, the polysaccharides in pomegranate will absorb the water in the intestinal tract, so a large amount of consumption may lead to dry stools, so it is not suitable for people with constipation.
