Raw sweet cherries, pitted and PCOS: portions and meal ideas
Can I eat it?
Fresh sweet cherries can fit a PCOS-supportive eating pattern without banning fruit. Enjoy the whole fruit rather than assuming cherry juice or syrup-packed cherries have the same nutritional profile.

How to serve it
Wash cherries and remove the stones before eating. Try a small bowl with plain yogurt; adjust the amount to appetite and any personal glucose-management plan.
What the evidence means
International tables report a representative glycemic index of 22 for this food category, but variety, cooking and testing methods can change the result. This is not a PCOS-specific measurement or evidence that this food treats PCOS. The neutral inflammation label is an editorial category, not a trial result.
