Sweet cherry, or bird cherry, stands out from many other fruits due to its unique taste, juiciness and nutritional value.
However, to get the maximum health benefits from eating cherries, you need to know how to choose the fruits correctly.
Color and size
The ripeness of the cherry will be indicated by its color. Sweet cherries can be dark red or burgundy.
Unripe cherries will differ from ripe fruits in their light color.
The size of a cherry is not an important marker of its taste, as there are many varieties that vary in size.
Cherry pit
Another subtle indicator of the freshness and ripeness of cherries. Cherries with a hard, dense pit will be sweeter than cherries with pits that can easily separate from the fruit, which will indicate that the fruit is overripe.
Cherry flavor
One of the important indicators that will help determine the ripeness of the fruit. To do this, you will have to try the cherry, and it is better to try several berries at once to make sure they are ripe.
When choosing cherries, you need to pay attention to the color and size, the condition of the pit and, of course, its taste. Such rules will help you get the maximum benefit for your health.
