List of Carbs in Fruits

The carbohydrates, or sugars, in fruits are called fructose and are broken down fairly rapidly by your body to provide energy. Some fruits also contain fiber, which is another type of carbohydrate. Fiber is not broken down by your body, and you burn carbs trying to eliminate it. Therefore, when you have a portion of food with 5 g or higher of fiber in it, you should subtract the grams of fiber from the grams of carbs to get the net carbohydrates. With foods that have less than 5 g of fiber, do not subtract the fiber; net carbs will be the total carbs.

Berries

One cup of sliced raw strawberries contains 12.8 g carbohydrates, but just 3.3 g of fiber. Therefore, the net carbs for 1 cup of strawberries is 12.8 g because the amount of fiber is less than 5 g. Fifty raw blueberries with no sugar added have 9.9 g of carbs and 1.6 g of dietary fiber. The amount of net carbs for 50 blueberries is 9.9 g. Blackberries are higher in dietary fiber than strawberries or blueberries. One 5.1-oz. serving of blackberries contains 14.7 g of carbs, but 7.6 g of dietary fiber. Subtract the grams of fiber from the grams of carbohydrate because the amount of fiber is over 5 g. This yields 7.1 g of net carbohydrates for one 5.1-oz. serving of raw blackberries. One 4.3-oz. serving of fresh, raw raspberries has 14.6 g of carbs and 8 g of dietary fiber. The number of net carbohydrates for this amount of raw raspberries is 6.6 g.

Melon

Melon tends to have a higher carbohydrate count than berries. Raw watermelon has very little fiber, only 0.6 g per 5.4 oz. But it has 11.7 grams of carbs or net carbs for the same amount because you do not subtract the fiber amount when it is under 5 g. Cantaloupe is another melon that is fairly low in fiber. One 5.5-oz. serving of fresh cantaloupe has 1.4 g of fiber and 13.7 g of carbs. Its net carb total is 13.7 g. A 4.4-oz. wedge of honeydew melon contains 11.4 g of carbs and 1 g of dietary fiber. Its net carb amount is 11.4 g for a 4.4-oz. wedge.

Citrus

One 6.3-oz. serving of orange contains 21.2 g of carbs and 4.3 g of dietary fiber. Net carbs for this serving is 21.2 g of carbs. An 8.1-oz. serving of raw grapefruit has 18.6 g of carbs and 2.5 g of dietary fiber, yielding 18.6 net carbs. A 1-oz. serving of lemon without its peel has 2.6 g of carbs and 0.8 g of carbs, resulting in 2.6 g of net carbs. A 1-oz. serving of lime has 3 grams of carbs and 0.8 g of carbs, resulting in 3 g of net carbs because you do not subtract the fiber amount when it is less than 5 g.

Other Fruits

A 1-oz. serving of raw apple with its skin contains 3.9 g of carbs and 0.7 g of dietary fiber; thus its net carbs total is 3.9 g . A 1-oz. serving of Concord grapes contains 4.8 g of carbs with 0.8 g of dietary fiber for a total net carbs of 4.8 g. A 1-oz. serving of red or green raw European grapes contains 5.1 g of carbs and 0.3 g of dietary fiber, yielding 5.1 g of net carbs.
