Sugars are a family of simple carbohydrates that are found naturally in fruits, vegetables, grains and dairy products. Sugars are added to foods as sweeteners. Naturally occuring sugars include monosaccharides (e.g. galactose, glucose, and fructose) and disaccharides (e.g. sucrose, lactose, and maltose). All vegetables have less than 90g per serve of sugar.
