But, did you know? There are many foods that are not sweet to eat, but are actually high sugar foods. Be wary of 6 types of “invisible” high-sugar food So which food is not sweet to eat, but contains a lot of sugar? Kiwi, grapefruit and other fruits Many people do not expect to eat very sour kiwi, grapefruit sugar content is much higher than watermelon. It is understood that although watermelon tastes very sweet, but the sugar content is only 4.2%, while the sugar content of kiwifruit even reached 10%, much higher than watermelon. In addition, apples, apricots, figs, oranges, lychees and other fruits have a sugar content of 9% to 13% or so.

But it is not good to take energy bars as a snack, energy bars are mainly designed for sports people, it is up to 70% carbohydrate content, and basically is easy to be digested and absorbed refined sugar. Sour snacks Most people think that plums, hawthorn and other sour snacks, the sugar content should not be high. I don’t know, but the sugar content of such foods is ridiculously high. Because of the high organic acid content of these foods, a large amount of sugar is added during the processing in order to keep the taste sweet and sour. It is known that the sugar content in hawthorn chips is as high as 70%-80%. The sugar content in the plum’s, too, is not weak, generally ranking second only to the plum. Cooking seasoning seasoning not only contains a variety of flavoring agents, in order to neutralize the taste, will also put a lot of sugar. Although the taste does not taste sweet, but it does contain a lot of sugar. For example, in addition to tomato puree, tomato sauce also adds sugar, salt, thickeners, freshness enhancers and so on.
