According to a study published on ResearchGate, avocado, blueberry, kiwi, golden kiwifruit, and sweet persimmon were found to have galactose contents of over 10 mg per 100 grams, distinguishing them as fruits higher in galactose. For individuals with specific dietary needs, such as galactosemia, knowing the galactose content in various fruits is crucial for proper health management. While most fruits contain relatively low levels, certain options have higher concentrations that warrant attention.

According to a study published in the *Journal of the American Dietetic Association*, bananas contain a small, measurable amount of free galactose, typically around 3 to 5 milligrams per 100 grams. This is significantly lower than dairy products, but it is not entirely galactose-free.
