Kids of all ages love the sweet juicy taste of plump delicious cherries, and why not?
High in Vitamin C, B-complex (including choline) and potassium, cherries also contain Vitamins A & K, Omega-3 and Omega-6, fibre, and minerals like iron, zinc, magnesium, phosphorous, manganese and calcium. With no saturated fat, no cholesterol and low sodium, they're a healthy treat for the whole family anytime!
Cherries (Prunus avium)
- get their rich deep red colour from powerfully antioxidant 'anthocyanins',
- are considered a significant source of the cardioprotective flavonoid called 'quercetin', and
- also contain 'ellagic acid' - a polyphenol antioxidant also found in pomegranate that reduces free-radical oxidative stress on the body .
And if that wasn't enough, did you know that inorganic cherries are consistently named in the 'Dirty Dozen' list of fruits & veg most likely to expose consumers to pesticides??? Our Certified Organic cherries are grown without chemical fertilizers or the application of chemical pesticides, and are unsulphured - a suspected asthma trigger applied to many dried fruits.
Just pure summer sunshine, year-round !
