Sugar in lemon and strawberry

Raw strawberries contain more sugar per 100 g than raw lemon: about 4.9 g versus 2.5 g according to USDA FoodData Central. So the literal claim that lemons contain more sugar is incorrect. Compare equal edible weights, since typical portions differ.

Per 100 g, strawberries contain nearly twice as much sugar as lemons.
