Rainier cherries are my favorite. I have to be careful when I eat them. It’s easy to eat $5 worth or more of them in one sitting!

Hi MM, I have cherry envy! How can an ordinary girl like me order those wonderful cherries in bulk? Thank you!

You can sun dry these sweet cherries and use for your green salad as an alternative to cranberries. They are meatier and plumper and gives more body to any salad.

Cherries are one of them fruits with a very low glycemic index. You can feast on a big bowl and not feel guilty at all.

One of my favorite reasons to see an uncle of mine based in Washington State was because he had a cherry farm, and he had both Rainier and the Queen Anne varieties. I could easily gobble a kilo of the Rainiers (not a smart idea!).
I also love the black cherries I had in Germany, available over the summer. My friends tell me never to eat them on an empty stomach, but it’s impossible to think logically when faced with a bag of succulent looking berries.

Beware, they are as potent a laxative as their cousin plums. Popping just one too many at any one sitting may inevitably lead to a rumbling in the stomach then a pressing run for and in the bathroom. An indelicate Italian colleague at work related to me once that he could not be bothered spitting out the pits so he sounded as though he was strafing somebody with a Tommy gun afterwards.
