Keeping An Eye On The Number Of Calories In Cherry Products

By Arold Augustin


A cherry is a fleshy stone fruit (or drupe) grown on trees of the genus 'prunus', or the subgenera 'avium', 'padus' and 'cerasus'. The prunus avium is the sweet variety, cultivated from the wild cherries. Sour cherries of the serasus subgenus are most often used in cooking. They are native to most of the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. These red, yellow or deep burgundy fruits are popular choices in weight-loss diets, so it is important to understand about the calories in cherry products. Knowing what you are putting inside your body has many benefits, which can affect your physical and even mental state. One should avoid excesses, so being well-prepared and informed will repay your efforts almost endlessly.

A single newly picked sweet ones (weighing roughly 1/3 of an ounce) is equal to four or five Kcal. This is equivalent to 18 to 28 grams or one ounce, and 63 to a hundred grams. Jogging, cycling or walking rapidly for one minute burns on average five, so it will be important to remember what you are taking in and how it will be spent to best aid in maintain your body.

Since the dawn of mankind, cherries have been on the menu. Nowadays, Turkey leads the world in growing cherries, harvesting 417 metric tonnes of the fruit in 2009 alone. America produced 390 tonnes in the same period, making the US the second major cherry-growing nation. The annual American crop is around two to three million pounds (lbs) of tart cherries and comes from Oregon, New York, Washington, Pennsylvania, California, and primarily Michigan (which yields nearly three quarters of the total US return).

The red pigment that gives berries including cherries their color contains the phytonutrients 'anthocyanins' which can reduce pain and inflammation. Anthocyanins are anti-oxidants which are good at helping to reduce heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer. America's super fruit also lower levels of triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood, and ease the pain of gout and arthritis.

The fruit sugars (fructose) give cherries their sweet taste, but also produce a heavier calorific value than found in most vegetables. A value of 63/100 grams places cherries roughly in the middle-of-the-road in relation to a lot of other fruits. A corresponding ration of the deglet noor strain of dates takes in 282 calories; avocados 160; there are 74 per 100 grams of figs; 29 in lemons; 69 in grapes, and 30 in watermelons. The sweetened, conserved maraschino type from the marasca tree originates from Croatia. One of these treats contains around seven and a half, which means a calorific value of 165 per 100 grams.

The typical serving of one ounce of most brandies with cherries contains 78 cal. An equal measure of the Three Olives brand of cherry vodka holds between sixty and seventy. There are sixty-nine in the same-sized shot of UV's Morella vodka.

A typical cherry cheesecake has a fairly high calorific content; a 4.7 ounce slice has 385. Similar portions of lighter varieties of this scrumptious treat can still measure in at 250. A four ounce serving of delicious turnover makes up over a quarter of your recommended daily calorific intake (315 calories).

There are 486 calories in cherry pie filling, made with 133 grams of sugar. That is the same as 10 doughnuts! Fresh cherries are far better as a healthy addition to yoghurt, cereals or pancakes. Dried cherries are nature's candy when added to granola or trail mix.
