TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP!  Honeyed Cherry Daiquiri from Country Living's 16 Sweet Cherry Recipes to Try This Summer!  This tart and sweet cocktail goes down easy! Find your Locally Grown Sweet Cherries and Locally Produced Honey, and Locally Distilled Rum at the Mount Airy Main Street Farmers' Market this Wednesday!

What Are Sweet Cherries Good For? According to Food Facts, the health benefits of sweet cherries are multiple. Research shows a connection between eating sweet cherries and the prevention of Alzheimer’s. Between the fiber, vitamin C, carotenoids, and anthocyanins, several types of cancers have been shown to be inhibited, and the cyanidin found in cherries significantly increases the free radical scavenging activity in the body. Sweet Cherries have their own set of antioxidants. Anthocyanin glycosides, which give sweet cherries their deep red-almost black color, are one of them. This compound also provides inflammatory properties, even against serious conditions such as gout, arthritis, fibromyalgia, or painful muscle-related sports injuries.
