• Decide why you are buying berries. So, if your main task is preservation, then either dark, yellow or white cherries are best suited for these purposes. These varieties are distinguished by their juiciness and sweetness. Red cherries are drier and denser, so they are suitable for fresh consumption, as well as for preparing various desserts. But it is believed that the darker the cherry, the more useful substances it contains.
• Inspect the stalks. Firstly, they must be present, since experienced gardeners pick the berries along with them. If there is no stalk, then bacteria can easily penetrate into the berry through the hole. Secondly, the stalk should be elastic and green.
• Evaluate the appearance of the berries. They should be shiny, without stains or damage.
• Feel one berry. It should be elastic and quite dense, but not too hard. Soft fruits are most likely overripe.

• Evaluate the smell. It should be nice and berry-y, not putrid.
• Do not buy cherries at spontaneous markets. It’s better to buy it from a gardener you know, if possible.
