Content<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The USDA confirms that 100g of raw Granny Smith apple (including the skin) contains 9.59g of sugar, which is equal to 0.0959g per gram of apple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Granny Smith apple is typically a smaller variety of apple when compared to larger varieties such as the red delicious or Honeycrisp. <strong>You can expect a medium Granny Smith apple to weigh an average of around 167g, and an apple of this size will contain 16g of natural sugars. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The quick reference table below shows the amount of sugar you can expect in a small, medium, or large Granny Smith apple based on average weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Granny Smith Apple size<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Average

is four teaspoons of sugar <strong>(weighing 4g)<\/strong>.<\/strong> Although this sounds like a lot of sugar, most of the sugar in apples is fructose, which is found naturally in all fruits.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2>Are Granny Smith Apples High In Sugar?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All apples are fairly high in natural sugars, which is why we love them so much, but some contain more sugar than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Granny Smith apples are a little less sweet than some varieties which shows in the sugar content and is also typical of green apples. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, a red fuji apple contains 11.7g of sugar per 100g, compared to a Granny Smith, which contains 9.59g per 100g.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you love apples, but you&rsquo;re trying to cut down on your sugar intake, choose a small granny smith instead of a large red apple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope you&rsquo;ve found the answer you were looking for on this page; here&rsquo;s a quick rundown of the key points: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>An average medium-sized Granny Smith apple (weighing 167g) contains 16g of sugar.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Because Granny Smith Apples are green, they contain slightly less sugar than red apples and can be sourer in flavor.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The sugar found in Granny Smith apples is mainly fructose which has less harmful effects than processed sugar.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Apples are high in nutrients and are still a healthy snack despite their relatively high sugar content. <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div
