Cherry

Cherries are one of the most popular fruit varieties, and they are technically a drupe – a fruit with a hard stone inside.

The cherry is a small fruit with a sweet and juicy taste. There are also two main types of cherry; sour cherries and sweet cherries.

These two varieties are fairly similar, but sour cherries have the slightly better nutritional profile.

Sour cherries predominantly grow in Russia, Eastern Europe and Southern Asia.

On the other hand, Turkey and the United States are the biggest producers of sweet cherries.

Cherries are a seasonal fruit, but frozen cherries are available around the year.
