Sweet Cherries

**When they're in season: End of June to the end of August **Health benefits: Rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, antioxidants, and thought to have anti-inflammatory properties. **How to buy: They should be plump, firm, brightly colored, and still have their stems. **How to store: Store unwashed in the refrigerator for up to a week. **Fun fact: In North America cherries are usually among the first tree fruits to ripen, which inspired the term "cherry" to mean "new" or "first," (i.e. "in cherry condition").
