Content<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The USDA confirms that 100g of raw gala apple (including the skin) contains 10.4g of sugar, which is equal to 0.104g per gram of apple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gala apple is typically a smaller variety of apple when compared to larger varieties such as the fuji or Granny Smith. <strong>You can expect a medium gala apple to weigh an average of around 172g, and an apple of this size will contain 17.9g 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 gala apple based on average weights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Gala Apple size<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Average weight<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Sugar content per

sugar (weighing 4g). <\/strong>Although, it&rsquo;s important to point out that most of this is fructose, which is naturally occurring and very different from processed sugar.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2>Are Gala Apples High In Sugar?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All apples are fairly high in sugar compared to some other fruits; however, most of the sugar in gala apples is fructose, which does not have the same impact on the body as refined and processed sugars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Although medium-sized gala apples contain almost five teaspoons of sugar, they are not the highest-sugar apples<\/strong>, and they also tend to be smaller, so you get less sugar content than you would in a larger and higher-sugar apple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s also important to remember that apples are high in many nutrients and fiber and are a healthy snack that helps you feel fuller for longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re trying to reduce your sugar intake or are on a low-carb diet, minimize your apple intake to no more than one in a day and choose a smaller 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 gala apple (weighing 172g) contains 17.9g of sugar.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gala apples tend to be a smaller variety, but the larger the apple, the more sugar you will get per serving.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The sugar found in gala 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 class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-group has-base-2-background-color has-background\"><div
