How to choose fresh cherries
- Typically, cherries with bright red skin will be sour, while the sweet ones will have a darker red color.
- Additionally, fresh and good cherries have bright green stems that are firmly attached to the fruit, not separated.
- Avoid choosing cherries that feel overly soft when pressed, have many tiny bruises on the surface, or show signs of insect bites, as these are indicators that the cherries have been stored for too long and are no longer usable.
