Cherries have a number of important nutrients such as phytochemicals (plant components), antioxidants and vitamin C. Red fruits and vegetables are rich in anthocyanins, which promote healthy circulation.

The plants that contain the most antioxidants are members of the Rosaceae family - cherries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries. Even dried cherries offer a healthy dose of antioxidant vitamin C, which is essential for a strong immune system and plays a role in collagen synthesis and the wound healing process.

The results of multiple pours prove that sour cherries are loaded with three phytochemicals. These are perillyl alcohol, citric and ellagic acid. Only sour cherries contain all three. Cherries also contain quercetin, one of the most powerful antioxidants. Among its other functions, quercetin prevents the oxidation of bad cholesterol. Anthocyanins and quercetin are also anti-inflammatory compounds.

From a culinary point of view, dried cherries are an ideal substitute for raisins or other traditional fruits used in both raw desserts and baked goods.
