how to choose cherries? When choosing cherries, try to choose the ones with glossy skin and green fruit stalks, which can also reduce the chance of meeting small white insects. The best way to buy cherries is to "look at four aspects":

Look at the color: the cherry with deep color is generally sweet, and the cherry with light color is mostly sour.

Second look at the head: Cherry size is the problem of varieties, and has nothing to do with the sweetness of the taste. Generally, the flesh of big cherry is more tenacious, while the flesh of small cherry is relatively soft. When selecting, pay more attention to the shape of the cherry root. The more concave this place is, the sweeter the cherry will be.

Third, ripeness: the mature and healthy cherry skin will show the natural and round luster of the fruit, while those dark and wilting cherries are often soft, not fresh enough, and the taste is not good.

Fourth, freshness: fruit stem is an important indicator of freshness. When cherry is just picked, its stem is green, and it turns black after a long time.
