Dear Kandice: Rest assured, it does not take the stomach one hundred years to digest a cherry. It takes about four hours for most of the food from a meal to leave the stomach and be absorbed by the intestine. The hard, round pit, or seed of a cherry, would be more difficult for the stomach to digest.hat that means is the way you digest it is basically to rot it in your intestines. On the other hand, if you eat vegetables and fruits, theyâre out of your system in less than 12 hours.â. Hop on the intestinal train for a food-informative ride.
