NO! Fresh cherries contain more vitamin c than cooked cherries because heating destroys vitamins.
Sweet cherries have dietary fiber and vitamin C, as well as smaller amounts of other vitamins and minerals. Sour cherries have more dietary fiber, much more vitamin C, a lot of vitamin A, as well as copper, manganese, calcium, and a number of other vitamins and minerals. Sour Cherries are healthier than sweet ones! :)
Fresh cherry season typically runs from late spring to early summer, roughly from May to August. However, the exact timing can vary depending on the variety of cherry and the location where they are grown. It's best to check with your local farmers' markets or grocery stores for more specific information on when fresh cherries are in season in your area.
Hi I also wanted to know this. Found this answer on the net. Fresh is the way to go. "Orange juice is frequently bought as a frozen concentrate. Frozen, reconstituted orange juice has 78% and canned orange juice has 69% of the vitamin C found in fresh squeezed orange juice. Vitamin C is destroyed during the condensing process, but canning is even harder on vitamin C. It appears that fresh squeezed orange juice is better than either frozen concentrate or canned..."

While cherries don't help some people there are a great number of people that swear by it, making it one of the most popular home remedies for gout. to see more information on this subject go to the related link below (cherries ad gout).
Yes, raw carrots are better for you because they have more vitamin C. I did this experiment and i tested raw, steamed, boiled and microwaved it turned out raw had the most vitamin C.
According to my calculations and the old saying "a pint's a pound the world round" then a quart of cherries would weigh more than a pound of cherries. One pint of cherries would weigh 16 ounces and there are 2 pints in a quart. So one quart of cherries would weigh 32 ounces or 2 pounds. Whereas a pound of cherries weighs 16 ounces. Therefore a quart of cherries is double the weight of a pound of cherries.
You need more fruit to make fresh squeezed juice so you would get more vitamin A from the juice. If the juice is not freshly squeezed then it could contain less vitamins than fruit.
100 gram raw lettuce contains 250% of our daily vitamin A intake. It is a very rich source of vitamin A. Lettuce also contains vitamin K in large quantities. Fresh leaves contain good amounts of folates and vitamin C.
No vitamins are as effective & healthy as consuming fresh fruit; it is said that consuming vitamins along with a diet with enough vitamin c intake makes them more effective. If one cannot get enough vitamin c from their diet it is very important to take supplements because it is healthier than no vitamin c intake.
It is not so much that dried cherries or cherry juice is more healthful than whole, fresh cherries: it is more that it is a convenient way to get the nutrition. Cherries are known to be rich in antioxidants such as anthocyanidins, which help to boost the defensive properties of antioxidants, and quercetin, which studies have shown may help control blood pressure. Cherries are also a good source of potassium and vitamins A and C, and whole cherries will provide dietary fibre. Having cherry juice or dried cherries concentrates these benefits (except for the fibre), and also means the benefits of cherries are available all year around, not necessarily just during cherry season. For example, research has found that drinking a sufficient amount of tart cherry juice twice daily for three weeks helped reduce inflammation in women with osteoarthritis. This shows how it is easier and more convenient to get these benefits in a concentrated form such as that provided by cherry juice.
Scurvy- used to be more common with sailors when they were not getting enough fresh fruit or vegetables.
The best cherries depend on personal preference. Red cherries are typically sweeter while green cherries tend to be more sour. Try both and see which you prefer!
