There was once a difference in classification that a Dwarf was below 4' 10, but above 4'' a Midget being 3'- 4' at maturity. However, certainly in England the terms are seen as inter-changeable. Ironically I am good friends with a genetically short family.
Just an example. A sweet onion is about 7% sugar, in-which about 40% of that is Fructose. A white onion (or any non-sweet type) is about 5% sugar, in-which less than 40% is Fructose. The amount of Fructose you are getting from even a few ounces of onion is minute. This Fructose is also bound with the flesh (Fiber) and other forms of sugar (Sucrose and Glucose).
The natural simple sugar youâll get from a small onion -- 3 grams -- is the type of carbohydrate your body prefers to use for energy, especially for working muscles and your brain. The benefit of getting sugar from onions is that the fiber helps prevent a large spike in blood sugar.otal Carbohydrates. One small raw onion, which equals about two large slices, has 6.5 grams of total carbohydrates. The recommended dietary allowance for healthy men and women is 130 grams of total carbohydrates daily, so you'll get 5 percent of your daily carbs from this portion.
