5. Fruits
When people think of traditional high carbohydrate foods fruit may not be the first thing that comes to mind. Nonetheless, fruit is in fact one of the most high ranking members of the high carb food chain. Did you know a single banana packs 27 grams of carbs? That is equivalent to half a cup of rice! Who knew! Fruits may be an essential and healthy part of any balanced diet, but those who are looking to cut back on carbs should be aware of the amount of carbs in them.
