cherries
Small stone fruits
Cherries are small, round stone fruits with smooth skin, ranging from deep red to yellow, produced by trees of the genus Prunus.
They come in sweet varieties eaten fresh and sour varieties used for cooking and baking.
The word often appears in compounds: cherry pie, cherry tomato, cherry blossom.
To cherry-pick is to select only the best or most favorable items from a group.
If something is the cherry on top, it's a final enhancement to something already good.
