Fruits to be wary of depend on local conditions at your grocery stores. Shelf life can cause some fruit sugars to turn to starch, that can happen with apples, pears, mangos, and orange pulp for example. Berries are never a problem though, so you can eat cherries, strawberries, grapes, blackberries, etc. year round. Starch test with iodine a sample of your apples, pears, mangoes, oranges and juices from such fruits before eating. Personally, I get tired of doing that so in general I don’t buy them since I found apples here in northern CA stores are often starchy, so I stick to berries, plums, pineapples etc., and berry juices such as natural or organic grape or cranberry juice without any other additives. In some regions pineapple fruit are starchy on the shelf, here in northern CA, I’ve never had a starchy pineapple, so it’s best at first to test your non berry fruits before consuming, once you find the regional pattern you can modify your diet accordingly if some fruits in your region’s stores never test starchy. Dried figs have starch but raw figs are fine. Dates are starch free, but neglet doors have high sucrose content while medjools don’t have too much sucrose.
I eat fruit daily with all 3 meals, I’ve found for myself personally that if I don’t do so, I get badly constipated, so eating fruit with all 3 daily meals is a pleasurable necessity that balances out my regularity.
