BLACKBERRIES - FRESH VS. FROZEN

When I add blackberries to my foods, it had 6 carbs for 1 cup fresh blackberries but 16 carbs for frozen, unsweetened blackberries.  Why such a big difference between fresh and frozen?  Of course, the frozen come up with an F - AVOID rating but the fresh are an A.

    Saw an article with the following explanation: "Freeze-dried fruit has a much higher sugar content than its fresh equivalent. As freeze-drying is a more efficient way to remove water than traditional drying, it can mean per 100g, freeze-dried fruit can contain more sugar than dried fruit. "

    I’m going to “assume” weight. 
    I recently bought fresh raspberries and 5 of them were 1/2 the weight of fresh.
