First, the ripening time of cherries.
1, American northwest cherry is one of the few real seasonal fruits, which is produced in mid-June every year. By mid-August, except for a few mountain products, American Northwest Cherry has completed the mission of providing summer food for people, waiting for the tasters to feast their eyes again in the coming year.

Second, the time to market for cherries.
Cherry is available all year round. After the cherry in the United States went on sale in summer, the cherry in Chile almost arrived and just finished the handover.
Third, the nutritional value of cherry.
1, the iron content of cherries is high, and the iron content per 100 grams of cherries reaches 59 mg, ranking first among fruits. The content of vitamin A is 4~5 times that of grapes, apples and oranges. The content of carotene is 4~5 times that of grapes, apples and oranges. In addition, cherries also contain mineral elements such as vitamins B, C, calcium and phosphorus. Water content per 100g is 83g, protein 1.4g, fat 0.3g, sugar 8g, carbohydrate 14.4g, heat 66kcal, crude fiber 0.4g, ash 0.5g, calcium 18mg and phosphorus1.
2. Cherry can also relieve anemia. Iron is the raw material for synthesizing human hemoglobin, which is of great significance to women. According to the statistics of the World Health Organization, about 50% girls, 20% adult women and 40% pregnant women will suffer from iron deficiency anemia.
Besides, although cherries are good, don't eat more. Because it contains not only iron, but also a certain amount of cyanoside, if eaten too much, it will cause iron poisoning or cyanide poisoning.
