Having had tears in the supermarket this afternoon from my youngest daughter after she had demanded grapes and I had said no, this week we are having cherries (and also plums which were used to make plum crumble), she then proceeded to demolish the whole packet (with a little help from myself) when we got the shopping home.
Whilst I was making the aforementioned crumble she kept creeping up to take aother cherry then running away saying how sneaky she had managed to be. At the end of the attack on the cherries she had managed to get cherry juice on every item of clothing she was wearing, and all over her face. She thought it was great fun and now loves cherries, which were particularly juicy.
It just goes to show that children do not need bags of sweets to convince them that they are getting a treat, and when you look into the health benefits of cherries I could not complain about her thinking it was the greatest game ever to sneak another cherry.
Cherries are high in antioxidants and can help reduce the risks of diabetes and cancer, and have many other benefits too. Isn't nature wonderful to provide us with such treats.
Think Fruit not sweets!
