Detailed product description
Freeze-dried sour cherries are 100% freeze-dried sour cherries that retain the colour, shape and flavour of fresh sour cherries, without any added stabilisers or flavourings. Only ripe, fresh fruit is selected for freeze-drying.
Freeze-drying is the process of drying fruit by freezing. The fruit is first rapidly frozen and then dried under reduced pressure, where the water in the fruit turns to vapour, allowing the fruit to retain its natural structure, colour, aroma and, above all, nutritional value, including all the vitamins and minerals found in fresh fruit. Quite simply, everything found in fresh fruit is also present in freeze-dried fruit. Sour
cherries are known for their antioxidant properties and high mineral content – particularly iodine, which is beneficial for thyroid problems. They also contain iron, magnesium and potassium. They aid in the treatment of diabetes and support insulin production. As one of the few foods, they help with insomnia thanks to melatonin, which makes it easier to fall asleep. The beneficial
effects of sour cherries:
- They contain flavonoids, plant-based antioxidants that help prevent cardiovascular disease. Sour cherries help keep the heart healthy and have a beneficial effect on the elasticity and strength of capillaries.
- Sour cherries are rich in melatonin, a hormone that promotes better quality and longer sleep.
- They have a beneficial effect on the joints. The flavonoids found in sour cherries can alleviate pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis or gout. They reduce uric acid levels in the blood and, to put it very simply, have anti-inflammatory effects similar to those of aspirin.
- They help to rid the body of toxins. Eating sour cherries regularly helps to cleanse the body of toxins, as they have the ability to bind to substances harmful to the human body, allowing the body to eliminate them more easily.
- They contain large amounts of vitamin C, as well as other vitamins, which naturally boost the body’s immune system.
- They aid weight loss; they can neutralise fats in the body and help in the fight against excess weight.
- They improve memory; they are rich in anthocyanins, a plant pigment that enhances memory and brain function.
