PEAK SEASON | BEST FLAVOR | VALUE PRICED

Bing! The peak season crop of Dark Sweet Cherries from California is here! Mid to late June will be an outstanding time to enjoy the rich, classic red Cherry flavor and sweet juiciness of the Bing variety. The California harvests are happening fast and furious right now and growers want their highly perishable fruit in produce departments as quickly as possible, so expect lots of advertised and in-store special prices to keep shoppers inspired to put a bag of Cherries in their cart. Even on sale, Cherries are a little pricey, so shop smart. Carefully inspect all sides of the Cherry packages to avoid wetness or splits. If the Cherries are in a bag, give a couple a gentle squeeze – you’ll want them to feel firm. Keep Cherries cold and rinse just before use.
