While cherries are higher in sugar and carbs than some other fruits, they are also a great source of fiber, helping the body digest the sugar more slowly. A chocolate glazed doughnut may notch similar sugar numbers, it’s not exactly a fair comparison—it’s completely void of fiber and full of added sugars and saturated fat.
