Description

The cornel (Cornus mas) is a fruit that comes from the tree of the same name. It belongs to the dogwood family. The cornel is native to Europe, Asia and parts of North Africa and has been cultivated for a long time.

Die Früchte der Kornelkirsche sind kleine, längliche Steinfrüchte mit einer leuchtend roten Farbe. Sie haben einen sauren Geschmack, der an Kirschen oder Cranberries erinnert. Die Reifezeit der Früchte liegt normalerweise im Spätsommer oder frühen Herbst.

Cornus cherries are often made into jams, jellies, juices, liqueurs and other culinary products. They can also be eaten raw when fully ripe. The fruits are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants and fiber.

The cornel tree itself is also popular as an ornamental plant, as it bears numerous yellow flowers in spring before the leaves sprout. The plant is adaptable and will grow in different soil types as long as there is enough sunlight.

The cornel also has some importance in traditional medicine. Various health benefits are attributed to it, such as a positive effect on digestion and the immune system.

It is important to note that the cornel should be distinguished from other plant species with a similar appearance, such as the viburnum, to avoid confusion.
