Some useful tricks

Apart from the indications that we mention for each fruit, also consider the following:

• The sugars (fructose and glucose) increase as the fruit matures.
• If you mix them, cut them right at the moment of consuming them to preserve their nutrients.
• If you eat them dried… You must bear in mind that, when losing water, the nutrients of the fruit are concentrated, but its caloric value rises.
• The dried fruits are useful to fight constipation and anemia (for its iron) and, in addition, they are also a healthy way to sweeten other meals.
• Many fruits, especially when sold dry, are given a layer of “extra” gloss coating them with sugar. When buying them, check the list of ingredients.

And what about cherries?

When eating them whole, you have to wash them thoroughly before taking them. Those that look very clean and bright are not usually the most recommended (their good appearance is due to artificial embellishment processes).

They have a powerful depurative effect, and also anti-inflammatory thanks to their anthocyanins. Each serving contains about 75 calories.
