Super Food of the Day
Sunflower Market has cherries on sale this week for $1.99/pound. So we bought a bag of them! We love cherries, but they usually cost so much. Once the kids get the hang of spitting the seeds out, they really like eating them. Here are the super benefits of cherries:
- Good source of Vitamin A & C
- Full of anti-oxidants.
- Full of phytochemicals that assist with lowering cholesterol, fight cancer, reduce heart disease, and reduces inflammation.
- Cherries cause a rise in melatonin (the sleep hormone) in your body!
When cherries aren’t on sale, we love the frozen ones too.

I love cherries too. I’m partial to Rainer cherries, but love Bing’s as well. I bought an inexpensive, hand-held cherry pitter last year so that I could give them to my little ones without worrying about the pits.

I love eating frozen cherries!!! I get them just so I can freeze them.
