Note about this food

There are two types of cherries: sweet and sour. Sweet cherries generally have more fructose and contain much more sorbitol than sour cherries FODMAP: this fruit is high because it holds more fructose than glucose (excess fructose), a FODMAP that is poorly absorbed. FODMAP is dose-dependent, so a small portion is often tolerated better than a large one.
