National Cherry Day – 16th July 2024
Today in the UK we are celebrating National Cherry Day (16th July 2024).
Cherries are a deep red colour and can have a sweet or sour profile depending on the variety you eat. Sweet Cherries are great for eating straight away whereas Sour Cherries are often cooked, frozen for use in manufacturing or used in drinks.
Bakewell Tarts are famous for their red cherry on the top but there are other popular foods which include Cherries in their ingredients – Crumbles, Pies, Tarts, Cakes like Brownies, Jam, Compotes, Ice Cream and sometimes savoury foods like Salads.
It is great when British Cherries are in season in the UK sometimes you can find a farm where you can go and pick your own which is even better! The season tends to be June and July however this can alter with the weather.
Other countries we source Cherries from include Turkey, UK, Poland and Germany.
Cherries have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties but are also a good source of fibre, potassium and vitamin C.
If Cherries are a product you are interested in E.E. & Brian Smith can supply Cherry Puree, Cherry NFC Juice and Cherry Juice Concentrate. We can source both Sweet and Sour Cherries. We can obtain Organic certificated as well if required. The sales team would be happy to help enquiries@eebriansmith.com.
