Per 100 g, the list starts elsewhere
The portion ranking compares everyday foods at the portion FDA's reference amounts describe (USDA's NLEA serving where it lists one). Seasonings, sauces, powders, dried and concentrated forms, raw meat and fish, uncooked grains and dry beans, restaurant items and foods without a household measure near that portion are ranked per 100 g only: nobody eats a cup of dried thyme. Per 100 g, these lead:
| Food | Total sugars per 100 g | In the portion ranking |
|---|---|---|
| Olives, ripe, canned (small-extra large) | 0 g | not an everyday portion (rule above) |
| Avocados, raw, California | 0.3 g | ranked 1 |
| Olives, green | 0.5 g | not an everyday portion (rule above) |
| Rhubarb, raw | 1.1 g | ranked 2 |
| Lime juice, canned or bottled, unsweetened | 1.4 g | not an everyday portion (rule above) |
| Lemon juice from concentrate, bottled, CONCORD | 1.4 g | not an everyday portion (rule above) |
