My Favorite Thing — Right Now This Second!
Cherries are one of my all time favorite fruits, and I enjoy them fresh during the summer months regularly. But before you know it, they are gone and you have to wait until next season to find them fresh in grocery stores.
Some of my best summer-time memories growing up in West by God Virginia were picking cherries right off the trees in the neighborhood (One had to be very careful with which neighbor it was though. Some of those mean ol’ neighbors would come out with their rifles pointed! ha ha ha). All those good ol’ fruit trees (cherry, apple, pear, and peach) in the ol’ hood are gone now. So sad! 🙁
A friend recently introduced me to Dark Sweet Cherries (the frozen kind). Not only are they good tasting, but they are good for you too! I found them in the frozen fruit section at the local grocery store. Who knew!!! Imagine how many times I’ve passed them up while getting frozen strawberries for making strawberry shortcake? Now, lucky for us cherry lovers, they can be eaten all year round.
Some interesting tidbits my dear friend also told me about cherries… they are considered a SUPER fruit and they help with inflammation. I also found out that cherries provide vitamin C, beta carotene (19 times more than blueberries and strawberries) potassium, magnesium, iron, fiber and folate (a water-soluble B vitamin that occurs naturally in food. fyi “folic acid” is the synthetic form of folate). And, as if taste alone was not enough, for added bonus — a diet incorporating cherries lowers body weight, cholesterol AND reduces body fat (i.e., “belly” fat – woo hoo!!) according to a clinical study by the University of Michigan. And did I mention the frozen ones are already pitted?!!
From now on, I plan to keep a bag in the freezer so I can nibble on their sweet deliciousness whenever I want – Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall! It’s sure better for me than eating those Reese’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups that I love! ♥
