Cherry picking tips
1. Look at this color
Cherries have a dark red or dark red appearance, so they are usually sweeter. The darker ones are the sweetest and the lighter ones are slightly sour.
2. Look at the skin
People are most afraid of eating bugs when they eat fruits, and so are cherries. It is best to have a slightly harder outer skin, because such a cherry real flies can not enter, and will not lay eggs, leaving room for worms to survive.
3. Look at the shape and size
When picking cherries in the market, we often see that some cherries are very big and some are much smaller, which is supposed to be the problem of varieties. But I personally think that if the cherry is big, the whole cherry is D-shaped oblate, and the more concave the pedicel is, the sweeter it is.
4. Look at the luster of the fruit
No matter what kind of fruit, the skin is glossy is the most healthy and delicious, Cherry is no exception.
5. Look at the stem of the fruit.
The fruit stems should be green. If there is blackening, it means they are not fresh. It is advisable not to buy them.
6. Look at the cherries for wrinkles.
