This new puzzle captures the radiant beauty of a cherry tree brimming with clusters of juicy, red cherries. If you didn't know, there are two main types of cherries: sweet cherries (Prunus avium) and sour or tart cherries (Prunus cerasus). Sweet cherries are typically eaten fresh, while tart cherries are often used in cooking, baking, and making juices. Cherries are packed with nutrients and antioxidants, including vitamin C, potassium, fiber, and various phytochemicals. These antioxidants help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals and may contribute to reduced inflammation and improved heart health. Cherries are typically in season during late spring to early summer, although the exact timing varies depending on the variety and growing region. They are often associated with warm, sunny weather and are harvested when fully ripe. Several regions around the world host cherry festivals to celebrate the harvest season. These festivals often feature cherry-themed events, food tastings, music, and cultural activities, attracting locals and tourists alike.
