Fruit contains fructose and glucose. Most fruits are half glucose and half fructose, depending on type and size.
Glucose
Blood sugar—glucose—is the body's preferred energy source. Most carbohydrates you eat are converted into glucose, which is used for energy or stored as glycogen in muscle cells or the liver.
Fructose
Fruits and vegetables naturally contain fructose, like glucose. Since muscles and the brain prefer glucose, fructose has a different metabolic pathway. Fructose is more lipogenic than glucose and only metabolised in the liver.
