IN SEASON NOW! Try our fresh frozen Organic Sweet Cherries today. Sweet cherries, or Prunus cerasus, have been a popular fruit eaten by many families for generations. They are a bit larger than a tart cherry and have a firm flesh, with a glossy red skin and delightfully sweet taste. Our cherries are grown organically and sustainably in the rich and fertile soils of Washington State. Each cherry is hand gathered on harvest day, then immediately pitted and de-stemmed before being individually flash frozen. Freezing the cherries on harvest day helps preserve the nutritional value, flavor, and aroma for your dining pleasure. Sweet cherries have long been used in traditional Chinese medicine. They were used to benefit the skin, rejuvenate the body, stimulate the appetite, stop dysentery and diarrhea, quench thirst, regenerate fluids, treat measles, relieve burns, and overall, prolong life. These delicious little morsels are an excellent treat straight out of the bag. Or they go extremely well with almost any dessert as well as in pies.
