How should I eat tart cherries and sweet cherries?
Now that we’ve gone over the main types of cherries, which cherry is the best? It depends entirely on what you’re using them for. Sweet cherries are often eaten fresh as a snack. They are mostly sold fresh in supermarkets during the summer, and are harder to find when out of season. Tart cherries, on the other hand, are often dried, pressed into cherry juice or concentrate, or frozen and can be easily found and enjoyed year-round. Tart cherries are commonly used in baking and cooking because of their tart taste, making them the preferred cherry for cherry pies!
