Q:
Which type of simple sugar is found primarily in fruit?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: B) Fructose
Explanation: The main simple sugar found in fruit is Fructose. Glucose is found naturally occurring in fruits and other plants. But fructose is sweeter than glucose and can give you more energy. That's why a piece of fruit in the morning will give you more energy than a cup of coffee!
Fructose is what gives most fruits that sweet flavor and in combination with the acids present in certain fruits can give a pleasantly tangy flavor.
