Cherries are native to Eastern Europe and Asia Minor regions. They are in the “drupe” or stone fruit category, belonging to the broad Rosaceae family of small tree fruits in the genus, Prunus. Several species of cherries exist.
Two popular cultivars are wild or sweet-cherry, and sour or tart-cherry.
While sweet cherries belong to the species of Prunus avium, tart variety belongs to that of Prunus cerasus.

Cherry Nutrition
Cherries are full of nutrients and unique antioxidants.
Studies show that anthocyanins in cherries are found to act like anti-inflammatory agents by blocking the actions of
cyclooxygenase 1, and 2 enzymes.
The consumption of cherries has potential health benefits against chronic painful episodes such as gout, arthritis, fibromyalgia (a painful muscle condition) and sports injuries.
