#black cherry

get it bc cherry limeade

My favorite tomato variety is pineapple!! 🍍Also, highly recommend deconstructed Italian sandwiches as girl dinner.

I learned about a new to me forageable fruit recently.

These are wild black cherries (Prunus serotina) and they're super abundant right now.

To me, the raw flesh tastes like sweet but slightly bitter pomegranate with a cherry aftertaste. They're nice as is, but I'm going to make jelly out of them. Apparently they're also good dried.

The entire plant contains compounds which can be used by the plant to produce cyanide (like most prunus species, the seeds are especially toxic). The flesh of the ripe fruit is safe to eat though, as it is missing the enzyme which actually produces the cyanide.
