Typical sugar content of raw fruit, percent by mass.
Total sugars per 100 g of raw fruit from USDA FoodData Central, rounded to
the nearest percent, for the twelve fruits blenders use most. We round
because ripeness, variety and storage time move the real figure by more
than the rounding does.
These are defaults, not measurements. A brewer who has a better figure
(a Brix reading on the run-off juice, or a variety that isn't listed here)
overwrites the percent on the row, and the maths uses that. The table is
here so the common case is one pick from a list.
