Stone Fruits Rock!
To me, cherries are the best fruit ever. They’re fun to eat, good for you, and sweet enough to be considered a dessert. In fact, one cup of cherries is only 87 calories, and is a good source of choline, a nutrient in the B vitamin family.
Other stone fruits are equally tasty and offer their own unique benefits.
According to the USDA National Nutrient Database, one cup of sliced apricots is 79 calories and had both vitamin A and beta-carotene. One medium nectarine is only 62 calories and a good source of potassium. One medium peach is a mere 58 calories and also contains potassium and vitamin A. And one cup of sliced plums is 76 calories and contains vitamin A.
Stone fruits are everywhere right now–at the grocery store, at the Co-Op, and even highlighted on some restaurant menus.
Now that you know my stone fruit obsession (cherries)…what’s yours?
