Sour Cherries (Ginja/Morello)

Sour Cherries (Ginja/Morello)s are small stone fruits enjoyed fresh, baked into pies, or preserved as jams and liqueurs; tart varieties (Morello/Ginja) are especially common in European and baking traditions. They are relatively light in energy at 71kcal per 100g and provide a bit of fiber and vitamin C along with mostly carbohydrate-based natural sugars. Cherries are not a significant source of protein or fat but do supply pigments called anthocyanins and other antioxidants that give them their deep red color and are associated with anti-inflammatory and recovery benefits.
