Rainier Cherries offer a honey-sweet flavor with very low acidity. Their flesh is firm, smooth, and remarkably juicy. Each cherry provides a luxurious eating experience.
They are recognizable by their golden yellow skin and rosy, red blush. The bright, sun kissed appearance of Rainiers signals ripeness and quality.
Rainier cherries are best enjoyed fresh to fully appreciate their sweetness and texture. They shine on their own, in fruit bowls, or paired with light desserts and cheeses.
Rainier cherries are harvested in California in May and again in Washington from mid-June to August. They often have limited availability and a short season.
