Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for those who enjoy tasty and healthy cherries to become victims of fraud when they buy the berry.

Unscrupulous traders are especially active in so-called spontaneous markets.

Therefore, when choosing a product, you should not be shy about examining and touching it.

Experts say: fresh cherries should be shiny and firm to the touch.

When buying berries, stick your hand into the tray and pull out the pods from the bottom.

It happens that sellers put perfect-looking berries on top, and hide wilted ones or those that have already started to spoil underneath them.

Experts recommend: do not buy bright red berries, it is better to choose dark ones.

And, in principle, it is advisable to collect them into a bag yourself, having carefully examined them beforehand.

Experts also advise paying attention to whether the tray is damp. If so, it means that the berries are spoiled or have started to rot.

In this situation, the other beans won’t last long intact and safe.

It is also worth paying attention to the smell, which should not have any sour notes.

If there are any, you should know that the berries are either damaged or starting to ferment.
