AND did you know the health benefits of all these yummy cherries? They’re packed with antioxidants, beta-carotene, vitamins C & E, potassium, magnesium, iron, folate, and fiber. Cherries are referred to as “brain food”, aiding in brain health and in the prevention of memory loss. Because cherries contain anthocyanins, they can reduce inflammation and symptoms of arthritis and gout. Eating cherries reduces the risk of diabetes. Cherries are a good source of fiber- which is important for digestive health.
