Cherry 1 article

Cherries are Prunus stone fruits with a single pit and soft flesh that may be sweet or distinctly tart depending on the type. Fresh cherries are eaten with the stems and pits removed, while pitted fruit is sold frozen or dried and used in pies, compotes, preserves, and juice products. Dark red varieties carry deep fruit pigments, but the more useful food distinction is sweet cherry versus tart cherry and the different culinary roles each form tends to fill.
