Compared with other fruits, plums have moderate sugar content. According to the data provided by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the sugar content of plums is about 7-100g. Compared with some high-sugar fruits (such as grapes and pineapples), the sugar content of plums is lower. But plums still belong to the category with high sugar content in fruits.

It should be noted that the sugar in plums mainly comes from natural fructose, which is a natural sugar in fruits and much healthier than the sugar added in processed foods. In addition to sugar content, plums are rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals, which can be used as part of a balanced diet.
