Cherries contain the powerful antioxidant anthocyadin. Cherries are believed to relieve gout if at least 225 g are eaten daily. They are also thought to have a mild laxative action.
Although fresh cherries have a very short season, cherries that have been bottled, canned or cooked seem to retain their beneficial qualities.
Cherries can be eaten freely.
