Cherries

Cherries, considered a stone fruit are closely related to peaches, apricots and plums. This delicious fruit has been enjoyed for tens of thousands of years, tracing all the way back to the Stone Age. It is believed that the Romans discovered this delicious fruit around 70 BC and carried it throughout Europe and England along the routes of conquest.

Cherries not only taste great, are low in sugar and fat-free but they are a good source of potassium, vitamin C and B-Complex vitamins. Cherries also contain pigments called anthocyanins which have been shown to have powerful anti-inflammatory properties. On-going studies have shown that cherries may lower blood sugar and LDL cholesterol levels and provide relief from the pain of gout and arthritis.
