Cherry

CHERRY

 

     Cherry (Prunus cerasus) exhibits a relatively limited vitamin profile, with the exception of beta-carotene (15.0% of the Daily Value [DV] per 100 g) and ascorbic acid (11.0%). However, it is characterized by a high concentration of several mineral elements, among which the predominant constituents are: boron (179.0% DV per 100 g), lead (142.0%), silicon (137.0%), rubidium (77.0%), vanadium (63.0%), molybdenum (14.0%), chromium (14.0%), cobalt (10.0%), copper (10.0%), nickel (10.0%), and potassium (9.0%).

 

     Cherry is further distinguished by its non-essential amino acid profile, specifically aspartic acid (6.1% DV). The nutritional matrix is rich in total phytosterols (22.0% DV) and mono- and disaccharides (21.0%), within which glucose (42.0% DV) and fructose (10.0%) serve as the predominant sugars. It contains minor quantities of starch (0.1 g per 100 g) and sucrose (0.8 g).

 

     The total purine base content per 100 g constitutes 5.0% of the daily allowance.

 

     It should be noted that cherry contains toxic mineral elements; most notably, it exhibits a high capacity for the bioaccumulation of lead (142.0% DV per 100 g).
