The Sweet Side of Health

Northwest Cherries don’t just taste amazing; they’re packed with natural health benefits that make them a smart choice for summer snacking.

Here’s why you’ll want to stock up:

• Fat Free and low in calories — guilt-free indulgence
• Rich in Vitamin C to support your immune system
• A good source of potassium, essential for heart and muscle function
• Natural anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce the risk of diseases
• High in fiber, which assists with gastrointestinal health and overall wellbeing
• Loaded with melatonin, promoting better sleep
• Linked to reduced risks of Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, gout, and even certain cancers
• Studies suggest that the unique combination of antioxidants and nutrients in sweet cherries may help modify critical disease biomarkers  — they’re a serious health ally

Handle with Care for Maximum Freshness

To ensure Northwest Cherries stay at their best from our shelves to your table, we take extra care and recommend you do the same:

• Keep Them Cool: Cherries lose quality much faster at room temperature. Store them in your fridge at 32°F to retain their crispness and flavor.
• Avoid Water Until Ready to Eat: Washing cherries prematurely can promote decay. Rinse them just before enjoying.
• Protect from Sunlight: Exposure to heat and sun causes cherries to soften and brown quickly.
• High Humidity is Key: Cherries love a humid environment — 90-95% percent humidity keeps them plump and fresh for days.

A Smart Pick for Your Grocery Cart

Northwest Cherries are an excellent buy. At Robért Fresh Market, we make sure you can easily find them in the produce section.

And here’s a cherry on top: Cherries can be frozen! You can enjoy their sweetness year-round. Just wash, dry, pit, and freeze for smoothies, baking, or snacking.
