Green cherries are the unripe fruits of the cherry tree, characterized by their firm texture and intense, sour flavor, quite different from the sweetness of ripe cherries. Their color ranges from bright green to yellowish-green, and they are primarily used in culinary preparations where a refreshing and acidic touch is desired, such as in jams, sauces, pickles, or desserts.
The origin of green cherries is the same as that of ripe cherries, coming mainly from temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, such as Europe, the United States, and parts of Asia. However, their specific use in gastronomy is often more linked to traditional and artisanal cooking.
Regarding their properties, green cherries contain a high concentration of vitamin C and antioxidants, in addition to being low in calories, making them a healthy ingredient to enhance the flavor of various dishes.
In Latin America, green cherries may also be known as guindas verdes or simply immature cherry trees, although these terms may vary by region.
