Cherries are not only beautiful in appearance, but also in their nutritional value. On the whole, the nutritional value of cherries is higher than that of pears, apples, peaches, and apricots. Cherries are rich in anthocyanins. The antioxidant effect of anthocyanins has been recognized as the strongest. The darker the cherry, the greater the anthocyanin content. Therefore, purple cherries have the greatest antioxidant effect, followed by dark red cherries, light red cherries again, and yellow cherries the least. At the same time, cherries also contain more vitamin C (the specific content is related to the variety) and a small amount of organic acids, which together with sugars form a sweet and sour taste of cherries. Both vitamin C and organic acids can promote iron absorption and increase the intestinal absorption rate of iron."
