Many other fruits contain starch, but it is mostly converted to sugars as the fruit ripens.
Carbohydrates
All foods are made up of starches and sugars. Carbohydrates are mostly starches which are nothing but complex sugars.

There are many things you can eat that will go to the thighs. Eating sugars and starches will make you gain weight.
Reducing sugars are a type of carbohydrate that contain free aldehyde or ketone groups capable of reducing other compounds. Starches are polysaccharides made up of glucose molecules and serve as a storage form of energy in plants. Both reducing sugars and starches are carbohydrates.
Our bodies digest the food we eat by mixing it with fluids (acids and enzymes) in the stomach. When the stomach digests food, the carbohydrate (sugars and starches) in the food breaks down into another type of sugar, called glucose.
Sugars and starches are broken down into glucose.
sugars
Sugar is a type of carbohydrate. Simple monosaccarides such as glucose and fructose are the building blocks for sugars like sucrose and starches.
Carbohydrate type molecules can be divided into two chief sub-classifications. These are simple and complex carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are sugars, and complex can be healthy starches as found in vegetables.
Saliva is primarily responsible for the digestion of carbohydrates in the form of starches. Salivary amylase is an enzyme in saliva that helps break down starch molecules into simpler sugars like maltose.
Starches are of a type of large molecule known as polysaccharides
