I've been eating a lot of cherries lately, and was wondering what health benefits, if any, I was accruing. This nutritional summary for sherries, sweet, raw is amazingly comprehensive! I can't believe I haven't been to NutrionData before. It's going to be my source from now on whenever I need any info about an ingredient. And it turns out those cherries are a good source of vitamin C and fiber, which is what I'd suspected.

Meg,
There is also a site called world's healthiest foods (www.whfoods.org) that is a great resource for nutrition information. It provides research (with sources) as well as nutrition data, and I find it very useful.

Thanks for your participation.
what is megnut?
Megnut is a blog about whatever interests its author, Meg Hourihan. For a while it was focused solely on food, but no longer. Now it's about food, New York City, travel, kids, and anything else that happens to come up. More...
I post throughout the day over at Twitter with little bits of randomness.
