Cherries (Pitted, Frozen)
Fruits · Fruits
Pitted frozen cherries are low FODMAP at 8 g, a small portion described as about 1⅓ medium cherries. At 13 g the rating is moderate, and at 75 g it is high. Sorbitol is the changing FODMAP group in this frozen-cherry entry.
Serving sizes for cherries (pitted, frozen)
The 13 g reference is two medium cherries and the 75 g reference is twelve medium cherries. Fruit size varies, so these counts are guides rather than a reason to skip weighing such a small green portion.

Breakdown for 75 g
Is cherries (pitted, frozen) low FODMAP?
The app's detailed panels show green fructose, lactose, mannitol, GOS and fructans at all three listed weights. Sorbitol alone turns amber and red. These observations concern pitted frozen cherries; they do not establish the same portions for fresh, canned, dried or syrup-packed cherries.
Cherries (Pitted, Frozen) and IBS: what to know
A few cherries can add flavour without making up the whole fruit portion. When managing IBS, count what reaches your bowl rather than the number of cherries originally placed in a shared recipe. Personal tolerance may differ even when a serving is green.
Gut-friendly ways to eat cherries (pitted, frozen)
Weigh the pitted fruit before stirring it through a suitable yoghurt or dessert. Chop it to distribute a small amount through the dish. For a mixed-fruit topping, consider frozen red currants or boysenberries using their separate entries; their portions should not be transferred to cherries.
Frequently asked questions
Do I weigh the cherry stones?
No. This entry explicitly says pitted, so the food weight excludes the stones.
Will cooking make a bigger cherry portion low FODMAP?
The verified entry does not establish a cooked-cherry allowance. Keep track of the starting fruit amount instead of assuming heating removes sorbitol.
Can I drink the juice released during thawing?
The app entry does not give a separate rating for thawing liquid. Do not use it to invent either a juice allowance or a benefit from draining.
