Tip Tuesday – Choosing Cherries

Choosing Cherries

Did you know that February is National Cherry month!

There are two main types of cherries, Sweet Cherries which include Royal Anns, Lamberts, Rainier & most popular Bing. The other type would be Sour Cherries which would include Morello & Montmorency.

A few tips when choosing cherries: Cherries don’t ripen further once they’re picked. They are very delicate fruits, and need to be treated with care. They are only at their peak for about a month each Summer!

Look at the stems of the cherries

Choose cherries with stems still attached

Select cherries with firm, smooth, unblemished skin, and buy only as many as you plan to eat in the next few days

Keep them separated from strong-smelling foods

For best results, store them… Please read here to see full details on these tips as well as each individual type of cherry & find some amazing tasty recipes.
