Maraschino cherries are preserved cherries typically soaked in a sweet syrup made from sugar, water, and artificial coloring and flavoring. Originating from an Italian tradition of preserving cherries in maraschino liqueur, the modern version is now alcohol-free and widely used as a garnish for cocktails, desserts, and baked goods. While they offer a vibrant pop of color and a sweet burst of flavor, maraschino cherries are heavily processed and contain high amounts of added sugar and artificial ingredients, which may not align with a health-focused diet. They lack significant nutrients found in raw cherries, such as fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. Maraschino cherries are best enjoyed in moderation as an occasional treat rather than a nutritional staple. Their longevity and bright appeal make them a common choice for decorative culinary applications, but they are not considered a whole, healthy food.
