Sour Cherry

Helps you sleep better at night

One of the rare fruits that naturally contains melatonin. Before reaching for a supplement, try a bowl of sour cherries in the evening — especially when summer's long sunsets throw off your rhythm.

Puts out summer inflammation

Anthocyanins are powerful anti-inflammatory compounds. Studies show they reduce muscle soreness after exercise — which is why sour cherry juice became popular with athletes.

Feeds the heart

Potassium plus antioxidants: balances blood pressure and lowers LDL cholesterol. The key is eating them regularly throughout the season, not just once.

Good news for your joints

Anthocyanins lower uric acid levels. Particularly valuable for those at risk of gout — and far more delicious than any supplement.
