Cherries, flesh and skin, raw

Cherries are a fruit, and these figures describe the raw flesh and skin. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with 15g per 100g, including 15g of sugars. They also provide 1.9g of fibre and 238mg of potassium per 100g, with small amounts of protein and fat.

The sugars in whole cherries are naturally occurring rather than added. Carbohydrate provides energy, while fibre supports normal bowel function. Potassium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function. For people monitoring carbohydrate or sugar intake, the amount eaten affects the total intake of these nutrients.
