Dried cherries are a sweet and tangy treat made by dehydrating ripe cherries, which concentrates their natural sugars and flavors. Popular in many cuisines, particularly European and Middle Eastern, dried cherries are often used in baking, salads, or as a snack. Packed with antioxidants like anthocyanins, they promote heart health and reduce inflammation. They're also a good source of fiber, vitamins A and C, and potassium, which supports digestion, immunity, and overall well-being. However, some commercially-processed dried cherries may contain added sugars, so it’s important to check labels for unsweetened varieties if you're monitoring sugar intake. Their natural sugar content makes them energy-dense and a smart choice for a quick boost during physical activity. A versatile ingredient and nutrient-rich snack, dried cherries offer a balance of flavor and health benefits when enjoyed in moderation.
