Cherries are small, ruby-red fruits celebrated for their sweet and tart taste. Native to temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and North America, they are a summertime favorite in desserts, jams, and savory dishes, particularly in Mediterranean and Asian cuisines. Packed with antioxidants like anthocyanins and vitamin C, cherries contribute to reducing inflammation and supporting immune health. They are an excellent source of potassium, which aids in maintaining healthy blood pressure, and dietary fiber, which promotes digestion. Tart cherries, in particular, are known for their role in improving sleep quality due to their natural melatonin content. With a low glycemic index, cherries are a smart choice for those managing blood sugar levels. While they are nutrient-rich, their natural sugars should be consumed in moderation. A handful of fresh cherries offers a delightful and nutritious addition to a balanced diet.
