Proving to its name,  it's loaded with water, and it has special minerals called electrolytes that are just what your body needs to recharge after some time in the sun. Just keep it to a slice or two and not more for sugar watchers.

                             AVOCADO FRUIT (வெண்ணை பழம் ) 

 Avocado is a fruit with certainly LESS SUGAR CONTENT

Not all fruits are loaded with the sweet stuff. A whole avocado -- yep, it's a fruit -- has only half a gram of sugar. Put it in a salad, spread it on toast, or make some guacamole. But while they're low in sugar, they're high in calories, so it might not be a good idea to make them a daily habit.

                             GUAVA FRUIT  (கொய்யா பழம்)

Each one has 5 grams of sugar and about 3 grams of fiber, too -- more than you'd get from a serving of brown rice or a slice of whole-grain bread. You'll get even more fiber if you add guavas with the skin on to your smoothies.

                                                  RASPBERRIES ( புற்று பழம் )

  

These pack a serious punch of fiber with 8 grams per cup -- and only 5 grams of sugar. The fiber is good for digestion and can help you feel fuller with fewer calories. They're the perfect size to savor one at a time, and they're not bad with some fresh whipped cream and a spoon, either.

                               CANTALOUPE ( மஞ்சள் முலாம் பழம் )

This is a kind of fruit which is amazing for the flavor and taste and in a single slice it can contain only 5 grams of sugar and only 23 calories.  You can experiment it with some cottage cheese and with a sprinkle of salt.

         

                                  PAPAYA  FRUIT (பப்பாளி பழம் )

Here's a good one to add to daily fruit & vegetable shopping list: Half of a small one has 6 grams of sugar. Even a small one is pretty big, so half is plenty to eat at one time. You can add a squeeze of lime and a sprinkle of sea salt and eat it.
