The larger of the two are the sweet cherries, producing large, firm, heart-shaped fruit. Most popular for eating out of hand, Bing Cherries are a sweet addition to meals and desserts. Bing Cherries are the most flavorful variety of sweet cherries. This large, extra sweet cherry turns a deep purple when ripe.
