Sour cherries, also known as tart cherries or pie cherries, are fast becoming known as a type of superfruit. These cherries contain a special combination of nutrients with a range of health benefits:

Anthocyanins: These compounds have strong anti-inflammatory properties, and can also help to inhibit the growth of tumours.

Flavonols: Improve circulation, promote heart and brain health, and control blood pressure levels.

Phytochemicals and phenolic acids, which are full of disease-fighting antioxidants.

Tart cherries are also alkalising foods, helping to combat conditions like gout which are caused by excess acidity in the body.
