Sorry, Stephen....

Berries are some of the lowest carb fruits (at least as far as most people think of fruits) and most of them run from 5-8 grams of carb per 1/2 cup. I don't know of any fruit that meets the specifications that you listed.
The good news is that a lot of things that most people think of as vegetables are really fruits and are allowed on induction such as avocados, tomatos and cucumbers.
On the bright side...you only have to forego fruits (other than what's on the allowed list for induction) for a few weeks before you can add them back in again after induction, even if only in small amounts. Hang in there...fruits aren't permanently off the menu!

Rhubarb is the lowest you'll get. It's really low (but actually it's not a fruit it's a veggie but that's another story).
Buy it fresh and stew it with a lot of aftificial sweetener or buy dry packed cans - don't buy anything packed in syrup or juice.
Serve it with cream and more sweetener. I have it very often!

I know it's not fruit but........ I somewhere saw a recipe that peeled zuchini squash and cut into small cubes. They took that and 'stewed' for an hour or so the squash with a package of sugarfree Apple cider mix, cinnamon and water. Supposedly they said it tasted just like apples by the end of the cooking time. I personally never tried the recipe but it was at least interesting enough to come to mind now even months after reading it. I held out for the two week induction at which point I added strawberries, raspberries and blueberries back to my diet. I don't regret it nor did it stall me adding back the berries I love so much. I think it is suggested though that when you do add them back, have them with a handful of nuts or cheese. (ricotta being my first choice) 2 weeks really isn't so long. Hold in there.
