Cherries

[Guest guest]

CHERRIES: Cherries are high in enzymes, vitamins and minerals, including

potassium. The darker the cherries, the higher in nutrition. Sour cherries

contain about six times as much vitamin A as sweet cherries. All cherries are a

good source of vitamin C. Unfortunately; they have only a short season,

available in early summer. The best cherries for juicing are Bings or Royal

Anns. Cherries will not continue to ripen after picked. Look for heavy, firm

cherries with a shiny skin and fresh stem. They will store in the refrigerator

for two to three days. Cherry juice sweetened with honey makes awesome

popsicles. Remove cherry pits before juicing.
