Many people with diabetes believe that fruits tasting sweet have a high sugar content, while those that don’t taste sweet have a low sugar content. In fact, choosing fruits based on taste is not scientific.
Some sour-tasting fruits also have a relatively high sugar content, such as hawthorns, passion fruits, and sea buckthorn fruits. People with diabetes should choose fruits based on both the Glycemic Index (GI) and Glycemic Load (GL):
Fruits with a low glycemic index (GI ≤ 55)
Fruits with a low glycemic load (GL ≤ 10)
