Berries are great for satisfying a sweet tooth
Berries are lovely and sweet, so make a healthier alternative to other less nutritious sweet foods such as chocolate and biscuits, which often contain lots of added sugar. Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries, get all their sweetness from naturally occurring sugars.
Even then, compared to many other fruits, berries actually contain fewer natural sugars. For example, an 80g serving of raspberries contains less than 4g sugars.
In contrast, an apple contains around 12g sugars, a peach contains 8g sugars and a small banana contains 17g sugars. Even half a grapefruit contains more than 5g sugars!
