Description:

Ruby red cherries have pleased palates for centuries. Throughout history, Cherries have been lauded for both their luscious fruit as well as their gorgeous blossoms. Tourists flock yearly to Washington, D.C. to view the ornamental Cherry trees that the Governor of Tokyo presented to America's Capital in 1912. There are two main types of cherries, sweet and sour, the Tart Cherry having the smaller of the fruit. Tart Cherries with their high production costs and vulnerability to rain and hail are a relatively expensive fruit that is in high demand. Cherries are high in anti-oxidants and contain anthocyanins which have been shown to reduce pain and inflammation.
