Cherry Nutrition Facts
Tart or sweet jewels loaded with anthocyanins and melatonin.
About Cherry
Cherries — both sweet and tart — are among the most antioxidant-dense fruits, thanks to deep-red pigments called anthocyanins. Tart varieties (Montmorency) also provide natural melatonin and are studied for their benefits on sleep quality and muscle recovery. They make the EWG Dirty Dozen list, so organic cherries are worth the splurge when available.
