Thanks to the painstaking work of breeders, winter-hardy varieties of cherries were gradually bred, which made it possible to enjoy the most delicate taste of freshly picked fruits far from the southern latitudes.
Cherry fruits ripen earlier than others and thereby open the fruit and berry season. Both children and adults adore them. They are highly valued for their sweet, delicate taste. The vitamins contained in the berries (A, B1, B2, E, P and C), micro and macro elements (malic acid, flavonoids, coumarin, pectin, carotene and fructose), minerals (manganese, calcium, potassium, copper, fluorine, cobalt , iron and phosphorus) put cherries on a par with valuable food. It is especially important for the normalization of the digestive tract, cardiac and hematopoietic systems, and tone support. Also, its use stimulates the active work of the kidneys, lowers cholesterol in the blood. Cherries are endowed with such valuable properties.
Varieties of tableware (gini) are not stored for long, are not transportable. These are mainly early ripe varieties. There are varieties from the bigarro group, that is, medium and late ripening. They are intended for long-term storage, processing (juices, compotes, jams and preserves).
