I would say that Blueberries have the least sugar and therefore they must be the answer.

Cool post–nice comparison. I think it’s also really valuable to compare antioxidant content (based on ORAC). Blueberries ~ 6,552 Raspberries ~ 4,882 Strawberries 3,577, so from that standpoint blueberries win.

The correct answer is the raspberries. Per 6.7 ounces net weight they contain 12.5 grams of dietary fiber! The Blueberries (6.2 ounces) have 4 grams of fiber, and the strawberries (11 ounces) have 6.
Also, per the 100 calorie portions of each fruit, the raspberry has the lowest sugar content at 8.5 grams (Blueberries 17.4 grams and strawberries 15.25 grams.

I love health food trivia. I am going to say strawberries just because they seem like a more dense food and thus would have more fiber…Did I win?
