Provence is not only known for its historical and architectural wonders. Provence is also known for being one of France’s fruit baskets. Other than the luscious strawberries, it is also known for another red fruit - the cherry.
35% of the French cherry production comes from Provence. So, during your fun and educational Jewish tour in Provence, don’t forget to taste the cherries that the area is very proud of.
Consuming cherries is good for your health, too. They’re rich in anti-oxidants that help soothe joint and muscle pain. Cherries also have pectin that can lower your ‘bad cholesterol’ levels, contain quercetin (an anti-cancer flavonoid), and beta-carotene that help maintain your eyesight and skin health.
Provencal cherries come in different varieties that could be eaten fresh, as a dessert, as part of a salad, or a tart.
As a Jew, joining Jewish tours is a great way to spend time to discover new places, new food, and new friends. Fill your mind, soul, and tummy as you cruise through the majestic Rhone. Contact us and spend your vacation with Kosher River Cruises.
