Many people are surprised by the number of benefits this tiny fruit brings!

Contains antioxidants

Sour cherries contain antioxidants such as ellagic acid and quercetin, which have been shown to isolate and fight cancer cells. They are also a source of melatonin, which may help protect the body from breast cancer. These antioxidants are able to seek out and neutralize free radicals and other unwanted substances that can lead to chronic inflammation and disease.

Anti-inflammatory action

Fight diabetes

Anthocyanins have also been studied in relation to diabetes resistance, as these antioxidants can help the body produce insulin, which in turn is used to regulate blood sugar levels. This makes these fruits beneficial for both diabetics and those at risk of developing the disease.

Sleep quality

According to a study led by Dr. Glyn Howatson and recently published in the European Journal of Nutrition, the melatonin in sour cherries can help alleviate certain sleep conditions, improving problems with restlessness and insomnia.

Prevention and treatment of gout

Sour cherries can help lower blood uric acid levels, which can help prevent gout and relieve pain caused by the condition. Sour cherry juice can be used to treat gout.

Relieves muscle pain

Sour cherries contain compounds such as gallic acid, kaempferol, and p-coumaric acid. Along with quercetin, these compounds may help relieve muscle and joint pain after physical activity or exercise.
