HanYuan Cherries

HanYuan Cherries

HanYuan cherries are a geographical indication agricultural product.

　　HanYuan cherries have a long cultivation history in HanYuan, dating back over 200 years according to historical records. There are many varieties of HanYuan cherries, with more than 20 premium strains. Depending on the variety and altitude, the ripening period ranges from mid-April to late May. These cherries are large, thin-skinned, garnet-like in appearance, fragrant, and rich in nutrients, with high iron and sugar content. They help regenerate hemoglobin and offer benefits such as softening blood vessels, resisting aging, and aiding those with anemia or cancer. They are regarded as a "precious fruit." The cherry growth cycle is short, taking only 45 days from blooming to harvest, and they are grown with almost no pesticide use, making them a pure natural "green food." HanYuan cherries can be eaten fresh or processed into dried cherries, canned cherries, and cherry wine. At the China (Chengdu) Western Expo and the China International Tourism Commodities Fair, both HanYuan cherries and cherry preserves were highly favored by merchants and consumers. In 2014, HanYuan cherries were awarded the National Agricultural Geographical Indication Protected Product Certificate, covering a protected area of 10,000 mu with an annual yield of 7,500 tons.
