Tart cherries, also known as sour cherries, are small, ruby-red fruits renowned for their tangy flavor and vibrant color. Native to Europe and Asia, they are widely used in desserts, jams, juices, and savory dishes. Rich in nutrients, tart cherries are a powerful source of antioxidants, including anthocyanins, which may support heart health and reduce inflammation. They also provide essential vitamins such as vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fiber. Studies suggest tart cherries may promote better sleep due to their natural melatonin content. While their sharp flavor makes them less commonly consumed raw, they shine in culinary applications, especially in pies and sauces. Tart cherries have a naturally high sugar content which can be amplified in processed forms, so moderation is key when consuming added sugars. Enjoy them fresh, dried, or as juice to harness their nutritional benefits.
