About

Rainier cherries were first developed at Washington State University, and are a hybrid of the Bing and Van varieties. The flesh is mostly yellow and orange with some red. They are often more costly than other cherries, and have a short season of availability (late June - mid July). Rainier cherries are famous for their delicious and unique flavor, and most often eaten out of hand, as they are considered too sweet for pie.
