About Cherry

Cherries are a delicious and nutritious fruit known for their vibrant red color and sweet-tart flavor. They are rich in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which help combat oxidative stress and inflammation. This makes cherries beneficial for heart health, reducing inflammation, and improving sleep quality due to their natural melatonin content. They also aid in muscle recovery and support digestive health with their dietary fiber. 

In Indian cuisine, cherries are less common but valued for their unique taste and color. They are often used in desserts, fruit salads, and jams, adding a refreshing twist to traditional recipes. Cherries are typically available from late spring to early summer, making them a seasonal treat that can be enjoyed fresh, dried, or preserved. Their versatility and health benefits make them a great addition to a balanced diet.

In Ayurveda, cherries are considered beneficial for balancing Pitta dosha due to their cooling properties. They help soothe inflammation, support digestion, and enhance overall vitality. Rich in antioxidants, cherries also promote skin health and improve blood circulation.
