Cherry stones, also known as cherry pits, are the hard seeds found at the center of cherries. They are often seen as a byproduct of the food industry but have valuable applications, especially as a natural filling for heat cushions, cold packs, and other types of cushions. Thanks to their excellent thermal properties, cherry stones are particularly popular for these purposes.
These high-quality cherry stones are naturally cleaned and carefully dried, ensuring they are free from chemical residues and completely safe to use.
Cherry stones are renowned for their unique thermal properties. The combination of their dense outer layer and the seed inside allows them to efficiently store both heat and cold and gradually release it. When heated, the stones absorb energy and then evenly release it through the outer layer, providing a steady and gradual heat release. They stay warm for a long time without overheating and, after cooling in the freezer, provide an even cold, making them perfect for a wide range of applications.
Cherry stones are widely used in heat cushions due to their ability to provide long-lasting, even heat. A cherry stone cushion offers both comfort and relief from pain and tension. The heat pack is often used for issues such as muscle tension, back pain, and stiffness, where the heat penetrates deep into the muscles to provide relief. Additionally, it helps reduce stress and promotes overall relaxation.
When cherry stones are cooled in the freezer, they act as effective cold packs. They provide a natural, reusable solution for cold therapy, ideal for quickly relieving pain and inflammation in acute injuries. Thanks to their even cold release, they help reduce swelling, bruising, and headaches.
Cherry stones are a natural and versatile filling material for sensory cushions. Their smooth, rounded shape provides pleasant tactile stimulation, and their slightly weighted nature promotes deep pressure and calming effects. Additionally, cherry stones can retain both heat and cold, offering extra sensory input. This makes cherry stones particularly suitable for individuals who benefit from sensory input or relaxation techniques.
Cherry stones are quite hard and have a smooth, oval to round shape, varying in length from 5 to 10 millimeters. These characteristics make them particularly suitable as a filling, as they distribute evenly and smoothly in cushions without sharp edges that could cause discomfort. Their even distribution also ensures a comfortable and consistent pressure.
Cherry stones can effectively retain both heat and cold. They can be heated in a microwave or oven for use in heat packs, or cooled in the freezer for cold therapy. Their natural thermal capacity ensures that heat or cold is released evenly, making them particularly versatile for applications such as pain relief and relaxation.
Cherry stones are durable and retain their shape even after repeated use, without losing their thermal properties. Their biodegradable nature and origin as a byproduct of the food industry make them an eco-friendly choice. By reusing cherry stones, waste is reduced, making them sustainable both in their origin and in their long-term use.
These cherry stones are carefully cleaned without the use of chemicals and are free from unwanted substances, ensuring a high level of purity and safety.
Thanks to an intensive washing process and controlled drying, the cherry stones maintain their durability and functional properties. Moisture content is kept to a maximum of 10%, ensuring that the stones remain free of mold and retain their optimal thermal properties. This careful treatment extends the lifespan of the stones, making them effective for long-term use in heat cushions and cold packs.
The low percentage of broken stones ensures a longer lifespan and optimal performance in long-term applications.
Cherry stones give off a subtle cherry scent, which is lightly noticeable when heated.
