Health Benefits of Cherries

Rich in Nutrients

Cherries come in a wide range of flavors and colors, with two main varieties: sweet and tart cherries. Both of them are very nutritious and high in minerals, vitamins, as well as fiber. One cup of pitted, raw, and sweet cherries can provide fiber, carbohydrates, protein, calories, manganese, copper, potassium, vitamin C, and many other components. All of those nutrients are essential for many body functions such as blood pressure regulation, nerve activities, muscle contraction, digestion, and more. Plus, cherries provide vitamin K, magnesium, copper, manganese, and vitamin B. [2]
