Fun Food Holidays™ May 26th is National Cherry Dessert Day

National Cherry Dessert Day

Cherries, the fruit of the beautiful and fragrant cherry tree, range from sweet to sour and have many culinary uses. They range in calories from about 60-80 per 3.5 ounce portion. Cherries are high in vitamin C, carbohydrates, and water, and include trace amounts of fiber, protein, vitamin A, vitamin B1 (thiamin), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), niacin, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and potassium.

Cherries can be purchased in a variety of forms including fresh, frozen, canned (as for pies), and even dried (which make a tasty snack!)

Cherry shows up in everything from pork chops to pie.
