About Cherries, sweet, raw
Sweet cherries are the dark, glossy fruit of high summer — eaten by the handful in a way that makes them feel as much a pastime as a snack. Deep red to almost black, they're sweeter and firmer than the tart cherries grown for pies.
They're rich in the anthocyanin antioxidants that give them their color, along with vitamin C, potassium and fiber. Cherries (especially tart ones) have also drawn research interest for compounds linked with sleep and exercise recovery, though sweet varieties are eaten more for pure pleasure than for that.
Moderately sweet and low in calories, cherries have a short, glorious season — part of what makes a bowl of them feel like such a treat.
