Cherries are known for being sour, so they are typically paired with sugar or corn syrup to create a sweet flavor. These are low-glycemic fruits that don’t cause spikes in blood sugar levels, making them ideal for diabetes. They’re also an excellent source of vitamin C (36% DV), manganese (30% DV), and antioxidants too.
