Rich in precious micronutrients, cherries are a true elixir of well-being. Let’s discover their properties and why eating them is beneficial with Simone Gabrielli, biologist and nutritionist.
Sweet and juicy, cherries are a pleasure impossible to resist. After all, popular wisdom tells us that “one leads to another,” and once you start eating them, it’s practically impossible to stop. Luckily, they’re also a treasure trove of micronutrients, packed with benefits and properties waiting to be discovered and, finally, savored. Available as early as May, they’re among the most beloved fruits of the late spring season, but their availability, unfortunately for us, is all too brief.
So let’s take advantage of them right now, when they’re delightfully fragrant, plump, and incredibly flavorful. “Cherries contain vitamins, minerals, and fiber—so many useful nutrients without the problem of overloading them with calories,” explains Simone Gabrielli, biologist, nutritionist, and our trusted expert.
A good source of vitamin C and potassium, they contain polyphenols and have a powerful antioxidant effect. What more could you want?
