Cherries
There
are two basic varieties of cherries, the sweet cherries and the tart
cherries. The sweet cherries are excellent for eating out of hand but
the tart cherries are far more popular as they are used jellies, jams,
and pie and pastry fillings and other flavoring applications. The
best known sweet cherry is the Bing which is larger and much darker
colored than the sour cherries, often growing two fruits on a single
stem. Cherries were first brought to the western world in the 1600's.
Modern cherry production began in 1852 when cherry trees were planted in
Michigan where the moderating effect of Lake Michigan made the climate
suitable for maintenance of cherry, and other fruit trees. Commercially
grown cherries are harvested by attaching a tractor mounted clamp to the
tree trunk. The tree is carefully shaken to dislodge the ripe fruit and
top not injure the tree. The cherries fall onto special sectional and
removable platforms from where the cherries are gathered. We are all
familiar with the Japanese Cherry Tree Blossoms in Washington D.C. The
Japanese cherry tree produces beautiful blossoms but what little fruit
is produced is not fit to eat. One cup of cherries provide 17 mg of
sodium, 22g of carbohydrate, 3 g of dietary fiber, 19 g of sugars, and 2
g of protein. R.B.
