Cherry tomatoes fresh out of our garden! They taste soooo good on a hot day. Having fresh produce right out of our yard is such an inspiration to be raw. We have big tomatoes too but they’re not quite as ripe. And in the words of my late father, “Plant enough to feed the critters AND yourselves.” So there’s loads of them going to the local wild beasties that pass through our garden in the night!
But you probably thought by the title of this post that I meant CHERRIES! Ha ha! And I did, too. I have a serious soft spot for the sweet, red antioxidant fruit. Cherries are truly seasonal and if you can still get them in your area, grab some and chow down! I know I go on and on about the importance of organic, but it is REALLY important with cherries as the skins will retain that icky pesticide junk and you just do NOT want that in your body. Plus, the organic ones taste soooo much better anyway. It’s how they’re supposed to taste. Duh!
Did you know that they found cherry pits in caves and pre-historic cliff dwellings? I can picture a caveman and his family sitting around eating cherries… getting their doses of iron naturally. Bet ya they didn’t have to worry about pesticides! Next time you eat a bowl of cherries in the comfort of your nice home… think of the caveman.
Enjoy what we have. Feel gratitude. Smile from your liver.
