Morello cherries are a tart variety of cherry often recognized by their deep red, almost black color at peak ripeness. Native to Eastern Europe and widely used in German and Hungarian cuisine, they’re prized for their bold flavor in desserts, jams, and savory dishes. Notably lower in sugar than sweet cherries, they’re rich in antioxidants like anthocyanins, which combat oxidative stress in the body and support heart health. Morello cherries are also a source of vitamins A and C, potassium, and dietary fiber, making them both nutritious and versatile. While their naturally sour taste makes them less commonly consumed fresh, they are frequently paired with added sugar in recipes, which can increase caloric content. Thanks to their healthful properties and distinct flavor, Morello cherries remain a standout ingredient in global culinary traditions.
