SESSIONAL FRUITS

Summer brings a joyful bounty of seasonal fruits, and cherries are undoubtedly one of the highlights. Personally, I always look forward to this time of year to enjoy the vibrant red cherries that are both delicious and nutritious. When I visit Frescho, I find that their cherries are consistently fresh, bursting with flavor, and perfect for snacking or adding to desserts and salads. One tip I've learned over time is how to pick the best cherries—go for those that are firm, glossy, and deep red or blackish in color depending on the variety. Avoid cherries that look dull or have blemishes. Also, keep the stems attached as long as possible; this helps maintain their freshness. To store cherries at home, I recommend rinsing them only just before eating to prevent spoilage and keeping them refrigerated in a breathable container. Cherries are also rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and can be a great addition to a healthy diet. Exploring seasonal fruits like cherries not only supports local markets such as Frescho but also encourages healthier eating habits by enjoying fruits at their peak ripeness. Whether you eat them fresh or use them in recipes, cherries truly mark the essence of summer’s vibrant flavors.
