Dried cherries are a sweet and tangy snack made by dehydrating fresh cherries, concentrating their natural sugars and nutrients. Originally popular in regions that cultivate cherries, such as the United States, Turkey, and Eastern Europe, dried cherries are now enjoyed worldwide in both sweet and savory dishes. They are rich in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which may help reduce inflammation and support heart health. Dried cherries also provide vitamins like vitamin C and potassium, as well as dietary fiber to promote digestion. However, they can be high in natural sugars and often have added sugars, which may contribute to higher calorie content. Moderation is key to balancing their nutritional benefits with a mindful diet. Versatile and flavorful, dried cherries are a delicious addition to salads, baked goods, and trail mixes or can be enjoyed on their own as a convenient, energy-boosting snack.
