National Cherry Day is celebrated on July 16, making it the perfect summertime celebration! There are more than 1,000 different varieties of cherries, and they range from sweet to tart. Cherries can be turned into many different recipes. You can make jam, barbeque sauce, pastries, pies, cola, ice cream, and much more. Grill them, dry them, or juice them. No matter what, they are always delicious. But NEVER chew on cherry pits because they can release toxins.

Not only are they versatile, but cherries are also nutritious! Cherries are filled with vitamins A, B, C, and E. Together, these vitamins help blood circulation, hair growth, stress management, and reduce cancer risk to mention a few. So don’t let cherry season slip by without enjoying a little – or a lot
