Cherries are small, vibrant fruits that come in sweet or tart varieties, typically red or deep burgundy in color. Native to regions of Europe and Western Asia, they are widely enjoyed in cuisines around the world, from desserts to salads and sauces. Packed with antioxidants like anthocyanins and melatonin, cherries are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and their potential to improve sleep quality. They are a good source of vitamin C, potassium, and fiber, promoting heart and digestive health. Sweet cherries contain natural sugars, making them a healthy snack but with moderate caloric content, while tart cherries are lower in sugar and often used in extracts or concentrates for their enhanced therapeutic benefits. Despite their health advantages, canned or preserved cherries can sometimes be high in added sugars, so fresh or frozen options are generally preferred for nutritional value. Enjoyed globally, cherries are both delicious and nourishing.
