So I'm browsing Waitrose (as you do) and I came across a bag of leafy green salad leaves (great, I thought). Sugar is not listed in the ingredients, but I discovered that per 100g, it has 2g of sugar and I wondered whether there was anybody great at nutrition advice on here that could explain where the 2g of sugar comes from?
I do realise that 2g of sugar is low, but I would like to be in control of how much sugar I eat, and from what kind of food. I was very surprised to see sugar in a bag of leafy greens.
A similar feeling arose when I looked at a Morrisons Vegetable Stir-Fry (350g). The ingredients are:
Cabbage (38%), Carrot (29%), Peppers (Red Pepper, Green Pepper), Onion, Broccoli and it has 13.6 grams of sugar.
I assume there is sugar in the vegetables, and therefore, do I need to reduce my vegetable intake? If so, what on earth do I eat?
