Late spring is the season of delicious and wholesome cherries. They are stone fruits like the plums, which originate from Asia. A more precise location is India, where flourishes one of the most nutritious varieties of cherries - acerola (Malpighia emarginata), extremely rich in vitamin C and vitamin A.
Besides being very delicious, cherries are also very beneficial. The main reason is that they contain nutrients such as potassium, copper, manganese, phosphorus, calcium, beta carotene, vitamins B1, B2, B6 and E.
But perhaps the most useful ingredient in this fruit is called anthocyanin, plant pigment, which acts as an anti-inflammatory agent and further strengthens connective tissue, thus preventing the appearance of wrinkles.
From the health perspective, one of the best things about cherries is that they have low fat and protein content and are rich in easily digestible sugars (fructose). Their glycemic index is low and due to their smallglycemic load are suitable for people with diabetes.
