Cherries are a popular fruit from the Rosaceae family, native to Europe and Asia. They come in sweet and sour varieties, with colors ranging from yellow to deep red. Cherries are typically eaten fresh, used in desserts, or processed into products like juice and jams.

Nutritionally, cherries are rich in vitamins C and A, fiber, and antioxidants, which can help reduce inflammation and improve sleep quality. Major cherry-producing countries include Turkey, the United States, and Iran, with significant production also in India, particularly in Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir. Cherries are cherished for their sweet-tart flavor and numerous health benefits.
