Cherries are so good for you! They are rich in potassium,
vitamin C, and B complex. Research
has shown that cherry
consumption can help the body prevent heart disease and
cancer, as well as provide pain relief and improved bone
health.
These health benefits are possible due to the antioxidants
found in cherries, the most vital of which are the flavonoids
anthocyanins and quercetin, and the phenolic acid amygdalin.
The flavonoid found in cherries has
anticarcinogenic properties
called quercetin which help to prevent heart disease. Cherries
are considered a nutritionally significant source of quercetin,
containing large quantities per serving that surpass most
fruits. Other healthy reasons to eat our California Snackco

• There is a phenolic acid called amygdalin, or Vitamin
B17 and laetrile, found in the kernels of cherries and other
fruits, which can reduce the size of tumors and the spread
of cancer.
• Anthocyanins found in cherries also block inflammatory
enzymes, reducing pain. Cherries are 10 times as potent
as aspirin and have positive effects on gout and arthritis
pain.
• Sweet cherries are also considered to be
excellent
sources of boron, providing 396 ug/100g. Boron consumption.
Boron matched with calcium
and magnesium has been linked
to increased bone health.
• Tart cherries naturally pack a health-promoting
punch that provides pain relief. Research has revealed
that tart cherries are a rich source of antioxidants, including
melatonin, which may help
to relieve the pain of arthritis,
gout, and possibly fibromyalgia. Additionally, the antioxidants
in tart cherries can help fight cancer and heart disease.
