The Super Cherry
I'm so happy cherries are now in season! I love them, especially the tart ones. I don't even mind working around the pit they are so good. Recently I was reading more about them and discovered they are truly one of the best fruits you can eat! They are also referred to as a Super Fruit which means they are loaded with antioxidants and nutrients. They can help protect you against heart disease and inflammation among many other things.
