Cherries

Description

Cherries are small, round fruits that belong to the genus Prunus. They come in two main types: sweet cherries (Prunus avium) and sour or tart cherries (Prunus cerasus). Sweet cherries are typically consumed fresh, while sour cherries are often used in cooking and baking. Cherries have a smooth, shiny skin that can range in color from bright red to deep purple. They contain a single hard pit inside. Cherries are not only delicious but also rich in nutrients, including vitamins C and A, fiber, and antioxidants, which offer various health benefits.
