Be Aware Of The Number Of Calories In Cherry Based Goods

By Arold Augustin


The cherry is the drupe (or plump stone fruit) of trees from the 'prunus' genus. Sweet cherries are members of the 'prunus avium' subgenus that have been refined from varieties of wild cherries. The 'Padus', and more commonly, 'cerasus' subgenera, are sour cherries normally best for cooking. Cherries are indigenous to the majority of the mild regions north of the equator. These deep burgundy, red or yellow fruits are well-liked choices for those wishing to lose weight, so understanding the levels of calories in cherry products is important.

Each individual freshly-picked sweet fruit weighs approximately one third of an ounce and produces between four and five Kcal. This works out as 63 per 100 grams, and 18 in an ounce (or 28 grams). Cycling, walking rapidly or jogging for 1 minute typically burns off five.

Cherries have been eaten since prehistoric times. Turkey is the world's greatest grower today, producing four hundred and seventeen metric tonnes of fruit in 2009. The USA is the next biggest producer (three hundred and ninety tonnes in the same year). Most of the two to three million pounds of tart cherries grown annually in America come from California, Washington, New York, Pennsylvania, Oregon and particularly Michigan (which boasts almost three-quarters of the entire US harvest).

The shade of cherries is generated by a red pigment containing phytonutrients known as 'anthocyanins'. These substances can decrease swelling and soreness. Anthocyanins are types of anti-oxidants which assist in the reduction of some cancers, diabetes and heart disease. America's fresh super fruit also diminishes blood concentrations of cholesterol and alleviates the distress of osteoarthritis and gout.

The fruit sugar (fructose) in cherries creates their sweet flavor, but also gives them a greater calorific value than most vegetables. Having 63 cal per 100 grams puts cherries somewhere in the middle-of-the-road compared to other fruits. An equivalent helping of dates (deglet noor variety) contains 282; there are 18 in 100 grams of tomatoes; 160 in avocados; 29 in lemons; 74 in figs, 30 in watermelons and 69 in grapes. A maraschino one is the sweetened, preserved fruit of the marasca tree, originating from Croatia. There are 7 or 8 in one of these titbits, which means 165 to 100 grams.

A typical one ounce serving of the delicious brandy that makes use of the wonderful cherry fruit has 78 cal. The same measure of Three Olives brand cherry vodka holds 60 to 70. UV brand Morella type vodka has a similar rating of 69 cal per shot.

Normal cheesecakes with cherries are fairly high in calorific content, around 385 calories to a 4.7 ounce slice. Lighter versions of this tasty treat may still have 250 per portion. A 4 ounce piece of turnover takes up 26% of the daily calorific value (a total of 315).

There are nearly five hundred calories in cherry pie sauce from a tin, prepared with nearly five ounces of sugar. This is as much as in ten doughnuts! Freshly picked cherries are a healthier addition to cereals, yoghurt, or pancakes. Add dried cherries to trail mix or granola for nature's candy.
