To identify which fruit among apples, cherries, oranges, and watermelons raises the level of sugar in the blood by the least amount, we need to compare the carbohydrate content of each of these fruits. Carbohydrates in food are broken down into sugar (glucose) and thus increase the blood sugar level.
Here is the carbohydrate content for the given fruits:
- Apples: 17 grams of carbohydrates
- Cherries: 19 grams of carbohydrates
- Oranges: 21 grams of carbohydrates
- Watermelons: 12 grams of carbohydrates
We need to determine which of these fruits has the least amount of carbohydrates.
Comparing the values, we have:
- 17 grams for apples
- 19 grams for cherries
- 21 grams for oranges
- 12 grams for watermelons
Clearly, watermelons have the least carbohydrate content, with 12 grams.
Therefore, watermelons would raise the level of sugar in the blood by the least amount.
