Tart cherries, or sour cherries (Prunus cerasus), are an incredible superfood that has gained widespread popularity in recent years. Montmorency tart cherries, the most commonly grown cultivar of tart cherries in the U.S., are often recommended to people with inflammation-related conditions, such as gout and arthritis, because of their potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.
According to studies, the remarkable health benefits of tart cherries stem from their abundance of polyphenols and essential nutrients, such as copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium and vitamins B1, B6 and C. These beneficial components are also responsible for tart cherries’ positive effects on heart health, exercise-induced pain and recovery, stress and mood. As an excellent source of melatonin, tart cherries also promote better sleep.
