Cherry stem is the long, thin end part that connects the cherry fruit to the plant's stem. This natural ingredient is commonly used in cooking and for preparing infusions, thanks to its diuretic and purifying properties.
Origin: Cherry stems come from the cherry tree (Prunus avium or Prunus cerasus), which is common in temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Its traditional use in folk medicine has transcended into many Latin American cuisines, where its health benefits are valued.
Properties: Cherry stems are recognized for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action. They are popular in infusions to promote the elimination of fluids, supporting kidney function and helping to alleviate digestive issues and fluid retention. Furthermore, they are low in calories and contain no gluten or fats.
Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: Cherry stem is also commonly known as drupe or simply rabillo de cereza. In some countries, it is also called pedúnculo de cereza or rabito de cereza.
