Did You Know?
One medium Honeycrisp apple weighing 192g contains almost six teaspoons of sugar (weighing 4g). Although, it’s important to point out that most of this is fructose, which is naturally occurring and very different from processed sugar.
Are Honeycrisp Apples High In Sugar?
The Honeycrisp variety is a red apple and is generally higher in sugar than some green varieties. However, most of the sugar content in a Honeycrisp apple is made up of fructose which isn’t the same as the sugars found in processed foods.
If you’re worried about the amount of sugar you’re consuming when eating apples or are on a low-carb diet, then you might want to have a maximum of one apple per day. Choosing a smaller green variety will also help ensure your apple is lower in sugar.
It’s important to remember the other benefits you get from apples (of all varieties) because they’re packed with nutrients and are high in fiber.
