sweet cherries

Dark red drupes

Sweet cherries are varieties of cherry grown primarily for eating fresh rather than cooking or preserving.

They're larger, firmer, and less tart than sour cherries, with deep red to yellow flesh depending on the variety.

Bing cherries are the most common type in American markets: We bought a bag of sweet cherries at the farmers market.
