Russians were given tips on choosing cherries

Roskachestvo experts told on Wednesday, May 27, what you need to pay attention to first of all when choosing cherries.

The ministry noted that first of all it is recommended to evaluate the appearance and color of the fruits. Berries should be chosen with a rich, uniform color, characteristic of the variety.

"A bright shine and the presence of a dry green stalk are signs of freshness, while a matte surface and the absence of a tail serve as markers of long—term storage," Roskachestvo said in an interview with Lenta.Ru .

In addition, attention should also be paid to the elasticity and density of the cherries. A high-quality berry should be firm and elastic to the touch. An indirect but significant criterion is the smell: a ripe sweet cherry exudes a light aroma, and its absence indicates that the berry was picked green, and it did not have time to "gain flavor."

Roskachestvo also reminded that cherries must be thoroughly washed, even if they seem visually clean.

Margarita Koroleva, a specialist in the field of dietetics, Candidate of medical Sciences, said that it is worth giving up cherries for inflammatory diseases of the stomach, duodenum, small intestine, dysbiosis, as well as for exacerbation of chronic diseases.

Nutritionist Natalia Pavlyuk warned about the consequences of excessive consumption of strawberries. According to her, people with allergies, individual intolerance or cross-allergic reactions should be more careful with berries.
