Great Things Come In Small Packages: The Bajan Cherry

This little 1/2"-1" in diameter fruit commonly known as the 'Bajan Cherry' holds great popularity in Barbados. The cherry itself comes from a bushy shrub and has a bright red, thin glossy skin and orange-coloured, very juicy pulp. It can be made into juice, jellies, jams, stews, ice creams, sweets and various other desserts!

Lets not forget to mention its rich nutritional value and fabulous taste! The Bajan Cherry contains 15X the amount as Vitamin C as an English Apple and a glass of Bajan Cherry Juice contains 7X the amount of Vitamin C as a glass of orange juice. These cherries, loaded with all this goodness and nutritional value will definitely ensure you are flourishing and fresh for your stay here in Barbados!
