About Sweet cherry

Sweet cherries are the fresh, usually round fruits sold for eating raw, with colours ranging from yellow-red to deep red or nearly black. Their thin skin surrounds juicy flesh and a hard central pit; flavour ranges from mild and sweet to richly sweet with some acidity.

They are eaten fresh and used in baking, preserves, and other preparations. They may be sold with stems and pits or prepared pitted, and can also be dried, frozen, or canned; these forms differ in moisture and, in processed products, may include added ingredients.
