About Cornelian cherry

Cornelian cherry is the small, oblong fruit of the cornelian cherry tree, not a true cherry. It is commonly harvested when ripe, when its skin is red to deep red and its flesh is tart, with a firm-to-soft texture depending on ripeness.

The fruit is eaten fresh in some regions and is also cooked into preserves, sauces, drinks, and other preparations. Fresh fruits contain a central stone and may be sharply astringent or sour before fully ripe. Dried fruit and processed products differ from the fresh fruit in moisture and texture.
