What Has More Sugar A Strawberry Or A Lemon? Did You KNow?

Did you know rumors have it that lemons have 70% of sugar and 30% of citric acid and that also means strawberries have 40% sugar and the rest is starch which is about 60%? To determine if this is true you have to first compare the two, since a lemon is of course much bigger and heavier than one strawberry. To make a fair comparison you should look at the amount of sugar per a certain amount of substance, lets take the standard of 100gram.
You will see that a lemon contains 2.50g sugar per 100g, and a strawberry contains 5g sugar per 100g. Twice the amount of that of a lemon!So you can safely say a strawberry contains in fact twice as much sugar as a lemon.
