Nutritional values

The anthocyanins from sour cherries inhibit inflammation and can thus help prevent and relieve sore muscles, rheumatism and arthritis. Milled barley grains contain mainly complex carbohydrates and stomach-friendly mucilages, which have a soothing effect on the digestive system.

Even after the summer you do not have to do without the fruity-spicy salad: Then simply replace the cherries with other seasonal fruit such as plums, damsons or apples.
