“…Cherry laurel is mostly consumed as fresh fruit in local markets but may also be dried, pickled, and processed into syrup (known as pekmez), jam, and marmalade. Besides its use for food, both fruit and seeds of cherry laurel are well-known as traditional medicine in Turkey and have been used for many years for the treatment of stomach ulcer, digestive system complaints, bronchitis, eczemas, hemorrhoids, diuretic agent, wound healing, and hyperglycemia, among others (Baytop, 1984;Yeşilada et al, 1999;Kolayli et al, 2003;Colak et al, 2005;Halilova and Ercisli, 2010;Turan et al, 2013;Alasalvar, 2016;Ayla et al, 2019).…”

Cherry laurel (dark purple or black when mature) is a popular summer fruit in the Black Sea region of Turkey. It has been gaining popularity as a valuable source of healthy fruit over the last two decades and is a good source of nutrients and polyphenols together with high antioxidant activity. This contribution discusses nutritional characteristics, antioxidants, polyphenols, and health benefits of cherry laurel. Where available, comparisons are made with other cherry fruits (Cornelian, sweat, and sour) and blueberry. Although several health benefits of this fruit and its seeds have been known as home-made and traditional medicine, in vivo and well-designed human clinical trials are scarce. Therefore, additional carefully-designed human clinical trials are needed to validate the health benefits of this fruit.
