Description

"Sour Cherry" (Prunus cerasus) is a fruit-bearing tree native to southwestern Asia and widely cultivated in temperate regions. The bright red fruit contains flavonoids, carotenoids, vitamin C, melatonin, and natural fruit acids. Bioactive elements within the fruit aid in oxidative balance, metabolic function, and inflammatory regulation. Juices, extracts, and culinary preparations make use of its distinct tartness. For centuries, sour cherry has been a key ingredient in both traditional remedies and modern nutrition, valued for its composition and versatility.
