What are the Health Benefits of Dried Cherries? Cherries contain many of the most important nutrients the body needs to stay healthy. They are a natural source of melatonin and can aid in helping you get the sleep you need on a regular basis. They are high in potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, and beta carotene.
Black cherry cleanses uric acid crystals from the joints and helps relieve pain associated with inflammation. One study found that consuming this fruit caused reduced blood levels of uric acid and increased uric acid levels in the urine, meaning that the black cherries helped the kidneys excrete excess uric acid.
Dry at 140 degrees F (60°C) in an oven or dehydrator. If necessary, turn large pieces over every 3 to 4 hours during the drying period. Fruits can scorch easily toward the end of drying, so monitor more closely as drying nears completion. Dried fruits should be tough, leathery, and slightly sticky.
