It is also one of the three most important [[blood sugar]]s, the other two are [[glucose]] and [[galactose]]. [[Honey]]; tree fruits; [[berry|berries]]; [[melon]]s; and some root vegetables, such as beets, [[sweet potato]]es, [[parsnip]]s and [[onion]]s, contain fructose, usually with [[sucrose]] and glucose.
