Rich in fiber, potassium, iron, magnesium and zinc and full of vitamins A and C, cherries are truly worthy of being called a superfruit. And luckily, from white and red to sweet and sour, Turkey is home to a variety of delicious cherries.

Cherries in Turkey can be divided into two main categories: i.e. sweet cherries, and aka sour cherries.

The most known and consumed type of sweet cherry in Turkey is the Napoleon cherry. Cherries are dried to be consumed year-round along with a variety of nuts as a healthy snack, also known as dried fruit.
