Did you know?
Cherries & Berries
- The same chemicals that give tart cherries their color may relieve pain better than aspirin and ibuprofen in humans.
- Eating about 20 tart cherries a day could reduce inflammatory pain and headache pain.
- There are about 7,000 cherries on an average tart cherry tree (the number varies depending on the age of the tree, weather and growing conditions). It takes about 250 cherries to make a cherry pie, so each tree could produce enough cherries for 28 pies!
Today, in Michigan, there are almost 4 million cherry trees which annually produce 150 to 200 pounds of tart cherries. And - Blueberries are the second most popular berry in the United States.
- Michigan and New Jersey produce 66% of all the blueberries in the United States, followed by North Carolina, Oregon and Washington.
- Over 200 million pounds of blueberries are grown every year in North America.
- Blueberries are first picked by hand to gather the best of the early fruit. Later, if the fruit is to be mechanically harvested, a harvesting machine goes through the field and gently shakes each bush so only the ripe blueberries drop off.
Blueberries are a good source of Vitamin C and fiber.
At Casa Dante we serve a dessert of Berries, ( blue, straw, rasp ) and if you're really adventurous, we serve Cannoli Cream over them.....wow! |
