Happy National Rainier Cherry Day! The Rainier cherry, named after Washington State's famous volcanic peak, was created in 1952 by cross-breeding the Bing and Van varieties. The cherry was developed by Dr. Harold W. Fogle of Washington State University in Prosser, Washington. 'Rainiers' are considered a premium type of cherry. They are sweet with a thin skin and thick creamy-yellow flesh. The cherries are susceptible to temperature, wind, and rain, and the flesh is generally more watery than other sweet cherries. Birds eat about 1/3 of a 'Rainier' cherry orchard's crop. 🍒 #NationalRainierCherryDay #RainierCherry #FoodSales #WeKnowFood #FoodConsultant #FoodDude #FoodService #Food #FoodServiceSolutions #FoodOfTheDay #NobertSales @NobertSales (at Germantown, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf4NzEXANKS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
