Cherry Fruit

Prunus avium - The Antioxidant Powerhouse

Prunus avium, commonly known as Cherry Fruit, derives its scientific name from the Latin word "prunus," meaning plum or cherry tree, and "avium," meaning birds. This name reflects the tree's tendency to attract birds to its sweet fruits. Cherries have been cultivated for thousands of years and have a rich history in folklore and traditional medicine.

Cherry Fruit refers to the fruit of various species of the genus Prunus, including sweet cherries (Prunus avium) and sour cherries (Prunus cerasus). These small, round fruits come in various colours, including red, yellow, and dark purple. Cherries are commonly consumed fresh or used in cooking, baking, and preserving due to their sweet and tart flavour profiles.
