Sweet Cherries

Once again, I just realized that I got duped into hating a fruit by the canned variety!  Or maybe I was just confusing the taste with fresh cranberries?  After much "pressure", I decided to try ONE freshly washed, sweet cherry and to my surprise....I loved it!  Cherries are my new favorite fruit and again, I do not know why I did not like them...I blame the can!


This red, juicy, stone fruit is not only delicious but low in calories, high in antioxidants,anticarcinogenic properties, vitamin B17 and boron ( linked to increased bone health). 
So next time you feel like eating something sweet, don't reach for that candy or the "health bar" ...reach for some sweet cherries!
