About Kersen
Kersen, also known as Jamaican Cherry or Muntingia, is a small, sweet fruit native to tropical regions of Southeast Asia and Central America. Resembling a cherry in appearance, its flavor is a unique blend of sweetness and slight tartness, making it popular in local cuisines as a fresh snack or ingredient in desserts and jams. Rich in antioxidants, Kersen is packed with vitamin C, promoting immune health, and its fiber supports digestive wellness. Additionally, it contains small amounts of calcium and iron, contributing to bone strength and oxygen transport. The leaves of the Kersen tree are sometimes used in traditional medicine for their anti-inflammatory properties. While its sugar content is considerable for a fruit, it’s naturally occurring, making Kersen a healthier alternative to processed sweets. Enjoyed fresh or dried, Kersen is a versatile fruit that blends nutrition with tropical flavor.
