Tag: Citrus sugar content

A single medium-sized key lime contains less than one gram of sugar, making it one of the lowest-sugar fruits available. Despite their potent flavor, the myth that key limes are sugar-heavy persists, often confused with high-sugar desserts like Key lime pie.

The pummelo, the largest citrus fruit in the world, is also known for having some of the highest natural sugar content among citrus varieties. While many assume oranges are the sweetest, the actual answer to which citrus fruit has the most sugar often depends on the specific variety, ripeness, and serving size.
