That link is to a study done in Australia in which they measured the free fructose (and fructan, separately) content of Australian fruits and vegetables. The table compares their results with those of the Australian FSANZ NUTTAB database. I noticed that some of their results are quite different from the database, and looking at their method, seem accurate. They also analysed some (choy sum springs to mind) foods that I haven't been able to find on other databases.
Note that these tables do NOT include sucrose content, so this must be factored in too (just for any newbies to note).
I just thought it may be of use to some people here. I'm going to bookmark it for myself!
Scroll down to page 4 of the pdf to see the veg table. there's a fruit one below too, not that this is likely to be good news for anyone here!
