Most of you know, (Kim, the 2 Jane's, Vikki, Tony, Ali, Dave and others) that you need to get adequate sugar in your diet. We don't really want to be mainlining tate & lyle so I thought I'd draw up a list for you all of the fruits with the highest sucrose per 200g serving.
My favorite melon comes in right at the top (I swear I didn't fix the list).
