Tag: Bagel sugar content

According to nutritional data, a medium-sized plain bagel can contain anywhere from 3 to 8 grams of sugar. This might seem low, but the amount of sugar is there in a bagel varies significantly depending on its size, type, and preparation, from a plain bagel's minimal content to a sweet variety's much higher levels.

The sugar content in a blueberry bagel can vary significantly, ranging from 6 to 11 grams or more depending on the brand, size, and recipe. This is considerably higher than a standard plain bagel, which often contains minimal to no sugar, aside from what is naturally present in the dough. The additional sweetness in a blueberry bagel comes from added sugars in the dough and sometimes in the "blueberry" flavored bits.
