If you were born in Nigeria like me, at a point in your childhood, you would have sung the song! agbalumo sweet o! Sweet o sweet o!
Cherry, the African star apple also know as agbalumo, udara in yoruba, and Igbo dialect respectively.
It is both delicious and nutrient-packed fruit offered to us by nature.
Here are some of its fantastic health benefits.
1. Rich in vitamin C: Cherry contains high Vitamin C content, an important vitamin need to maintain your body optimal function.
A 100g of the fruit gives about 25mg of vitamin C.
2. Bone & Cartilage Health: From the prevention of mouth gum disease to the tackling of toothache as well as sore throat, vitamin C prevents scurvy and arthritis.
3. Anticancer Agent and Immune Booster: a readily available source of anti-oxidants, which help strengthen the immune system and prevent the damages caused by free radicals that can lead to cancer.
4. Good for expecting mothers: The acidic taste of cherry help balance stomach acid and prevent the urge of vomiting during pregnancy.
5. Weight Management: A good source of fructose. Studies have shown that a fruit serving gives 67 calorie, and thus aid in maintaining weight to prevent obesity and diabetes.
6. Improves your Digestive Health: It's rich ascorbic acid and fibre content, is a natural remedy for health conditions such as constipation, sore throat, and indigestion.
My dear client, So when next you come across the African star apple screaming eat me🍒 make sure you don't just pass it by, rather get some to nourish you; as It blooms between December and April. 🍑
