cherries in the snow

Cherries are a small, fleshy fruit from the genus Prunus, known for their vibrant color and sweet-tart flavor. Typically harvested in late spring to early summer, they are packed with vitamins A, C, antioxidants, and fiber. Sweet cherries, like Prunus avium, are often eaten raw, while sour cherries, like Prunus cerasus, excel in baking.
