Sweet Freckles™
Sweet Freckles™ is the catchy name for one of summer’s newest delicacies: a northwest strawberry cherry that has the best attributes of a fruit (cherry) and a berry (strawberry). With the firm and juicy texture of a black or Rainier cherry and the delicate sweet flavor of a sun-kissed strawberry, the Sweet Freckle™ is a winning combination for those who love sweet summer fruit.
Grown in Washington, Sweet Freckles™ are exceptionally large, extremely firm, and delightfully juicy with a deep pink or red color speckled with slightly white to creamy beige undertones.
Intensely sweet, Sweet Freckles™ have a natural sugar level between 19%-25% (compared to Dark Cherries with 16%-20% and Rainer Cherries with 18 – 23%). These sweet berries are only available from mid-June to late July so get them while you can.
Sold in plastic clam shell quart sized containers that hold one pound, the Sweet Freckles™ sell for about $4.99 at grocery stores nationwide including Whole Foods Market.
