Bing cherries

Sweet red drupes

Bing cherries are a variety of sweet cherry, dark red to nearly black when ripe, with firm flesh and a rich, sweet flavor.

They're the most widely grown sweet cherry in the United States, popular for fresh eating and baking: The Bing cherries at the farmers market looked perfect.

Named after a Chinese orchard worker in Oregon who helped cultivate them in the 1870s.
