In Season: Top Picks from Summer’s Table

The very merry cherry

Nothing says summer like cherries! Full of flavour, they add a colourful flourish to every table. The best news is cherries are loaded with antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties. The dark red fruit contains Anthocyanin Glycosides, properties that can help relieve gout, arthritis and also help with post-workout muscle recovery. With this summer’s bumper crop, bringing out the cherries may be irresistible way beyond the festive season!
