As we all know, cherries are a delicious fruit and, being a fruit, are a healthy option as a snack, especially compared to many processed, high-fat, high-sugar and high-salt options in the shops these days.

There is however, a lot more to the cherry than is first apparent. Researchers found that cherries contain a compound known as ellagic acid, which helps to neutralise carcinogens in the body.

Cherries are therefore seen to be a fruit that actively helps prevent cancer. Choose organically grown fruits if you can, as these are not treated with harmful insecticides and fertilizers.
