Antioxidants
found in tart cherries may provide a level of antioxidant protection equivalent to commonly available
nutritional supplements
like vitamins C and E. They have 19 times as much vitamin A and beta carotene as available in blueberries and strawberries. They are high in potassium, dietary fiber, containing vitamins B6, C, E, iron, magnesium, folic acid and are virtually fat and sodium free.
One of the biggest benefits to tart cherries may be the high concentration of melatonin, a
major antioxidant
naturally manufactured within your body, considered to regulate sleep and
slow aging.
Glycemic Index - Montmorency Tart Cherries have been tested for
their glycemic index (GI) by the Glycemic Index Laboratories at
Toronto, Canada. Frozen Montmorency Tart Cherries revealed a
low glycemic index, and the lower the better, because low GI
foods create a gradual rise in the blood sugar, which is much easier for the body to absorb. (Source - Cherry Marketing Institute)
