Storage instructions:

Cherries are sensitive to high temperatures and are difficult to store at room temperature. Therefore, when purchasing cherries, buyers should keep them in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

Cherries can maintain their freshness and nutritional content for about 10 days when stored at the optimal temperature of 0°C and humidity levels between 90% and 95%.

Cherries are always kept dry, especially the stalks because cherries absorb water very quickly and wet cherries will soften faster or become waterlogged. When eating, you just wash enough cherries to eat to help them stay fresh for longer.
