Eggs do not have any sucrose.

Eggs have very little sugar content overall and no sucrose.

The small amount of sugar content in eggs is in the form of glucose mainly and not sucrose.

Sucrose is a type of sugar that is made up of glucose and fructose molecules that are bonded together.

Eggs are also very low in carbohydrates and especially the egg whites.

A large egg also contains less than 1 gram of total carbohydrates, and this also includes any sugars which may be present.

Eggs are also a great source of protein and healthy fats and no carbohydrates.

And while eggs themselves don't have any sucrose, other egg based dishes such as pastries, cakes etc have added sugars and sucrose in those egg based dishes can be a common ingredient.

Even most cheeses, meats, poultry, fish etc are also either free of sucrose or have very little sucrose.

High sucrose foods are foods that contain significant amounts of sucrose, which is a type of sugar that is also known as table sugar and is a disaccharide that is made of glucose and fructose.

Many processed foods and some naturally occurring foods are high in sucrose.

Examples of high sucrose foods are processed foods like candy, cookies, cakes, pastries, ice cream, puddings, milkshakes, jams, jellies, and even some sauces often contain high amounts of added sucrose.

And many sweetened drinks like sodas, fruit juices, sports drinks, and even sweetened coffee drinks are high in sucrose.

And some fruits like bananas, apples, mangoes and oranges also contain sucrose.

And some foods like breakfast cereals, granola, and even certain types of bread and other pastries can be high in sucrose.

Even many commercially made condiments like BBQ sauce, teriyaki sauce and salad dressings can have added sucrose.
