Canned Cherries

Canned Cherries

Canned cherries are a convenient way to enjoy cherries all year round. They are typically pitted and preserved in syrup or juice to maintain their flavor and texture. While fresh cherries are a good source of vitamin C and fiber, canned cherries may have slightly lower levels due to the preservation process. However, they still contain antioxidants known as anthocyanins, which may help reduce inflammation and improve heart health. It's important to note that canned cherries may also be high in added sugar, so it's best to choose those with no added sugar or in natural juice instead. Enjoy canned cherries as a topping for oatmeal, yogurt, or ice cream, or use them as a filling for pies and other desserts.
