How to Pick the Sweetest Cherries

  • Darkest colour wins: For most varieties (Bing, Lapin), deeper colour = higher sugar. Choose the darkest cherries in the batch.
  • Firm, not soft: Press gently — a fresh cherry should feel firm and resist pressure. Soft spots mean bruising.
  • Green, flexible stems: Dried, brown or easily detached stems indicate age. Fresh green stems mean recently picked.
  • Shiny skin: A glossy surface indicates freshness. Dull or wrinkled skin means dehydration.
