Carbohydrate Characteristics: Avocado vs. America’s Most Commonly Consumed Fruits. Glycemic Index Scale: Glucose = 100. Carbohydrates, sugars, and fiber are all listed per 100 g serving. There are no glycemic index values given for avocados because they contain so few carbohydrates that it would be difficult for people to consume a large enough portion (50 g of available carbohydrates) to properly perform glycemic index testing. Data sources: Nutrients—USDA Nutrient Database for Standard Reference 27 [47,48]; Glycemic Load and Glycemic Index—International table of glycemic index and glycemic load values [49].
