An easy fit for a low-sugar day.
A full cup of raspberries has just 5 g of sugar, paired with about 8 g of fibre — an unusually good ratio. That fibre load is why raspberries barely move blood sugar despite tasting genuinely sweet-tart.
They're one of the best fruits to reach for on a low-sugar day: generous volume, real sweetness, minimal sugar. The only caution is what you add — a sugary yogurt or a drizzle of honey can undo the advantage fast.
Lower-sugar swaps
- Eat them plain or with a spoon of plain Greek yogurt
- Add to sparkling water for naturally tart flavour
