For those who have not yet added cheremon to a salad and made a pesto-like sauce with it, definitely worth a closer look at this potion.

Everyone who has been in the topic of healthy eating for a long time is already used to goji and acai berries, avocados and chia seeds, but our climate zone is also rich in very useful products. One of these plants is cheremsha, also called “bear's onion”. By the way, her season has already started. This product is clearly underrated. There are much more useful properties of pine trees than it might seem.

Cheremsha grows in Turkey, the Caucasus, the Far East and throughout Europe. Wild pine is listed in the Red Books in many countries. But recently it began to be cultivated as a garden plant, and for good reason. The plant is rich in vitamins of group B, A, C, E, PP. It is rich in iron, calcium, fluorine, iodine and zinc. Externally, the pine tree looks like a lily of the valley and tastes like delicate garlic. It is customary to eat leaves, stems and bulbs. Cheremsha is eaten in almost any form: raw, fried, boiled, pickled, dried. In Bulgaria, samardala (dried cherry tree) is so popular that it stands on tables next to salt and pepper. Swiss archaeologists have established that it was used even five thousand years ago. In medieval medical treatises, it was recommended to eat it to avoid contracting the plague and cholera. It's no wonder that in Germany, the city of Eberbach still holds the “Eberbach Cherry Festival” every year.

Strengthens immunity

Due to the high content of vitamin C in cherry trees, it is almost twice as much as in lemons. it helps the body fight against harmful bacteria.

Normalizes blood pressure

It has been proven that fresh gooseberries prevent the accumulation of harmful cholesterol in the blood. In ancient Rome, it was considered an excellent blood purifier.

Improves the work of the digestive system

Cherry has a lot of fiber, so it promotes good digestion. However, people with stomach and intestinal diseases should be careful with this spicy herb. Due to the fact that the pine tree contains essential oils and allicin, the plant not only becomes aromatic and spicy in taste, but also irritates the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract. To reduce the negative effect, you should eat fresh pine with something fatty. For example, add vegetable oil to a salad with it. Cranberry has one feature that those who are losing weight may consider a disadvantage – it increases appetite.
