Nutritional values for fruit are taken from the USDA website. They determine
what a serving size is. Their weights for fruit servings figure in
the weight of stems, peels, rinds, and other stuff you'd throw away.
NOTE: We are here showing the total sugar content of fruit. We are
using the sugar cubes to illustrate that. Fruit probably has other
health benefits that outweigh the sugar content, and the fruit in
sugar may (or may not) be healthier than table sugar. But all fruits
are not equal in sugar content, and it's worth noting that. A
strawberry may, in fact, be healthier than a grape, even though they
are both "natural."
Well, that's where all the sugar in raisins comes from.
