Rainier cherries are a larger variety and have a round to heart-like
shape with a dimple on the stem-end, attached to long and slender
stems. The fruit's skin is taut, glossy, smooth, and thin with a
golden yellow base, covered in red, orange, and pink blush.
Underneath the surface, the flesh is yellow to cream-colored,
sometimes featuring red streaks near the seed, and has a semi-firm,
plump, tender, and aqueous consistency, encasing a central light
brown pit. Rainier cherries contain low acidity and have one of the
highest sugar contents of sweet cherry varieties. The fruits have a
delicately floral, sweet flavor with notes of peaches and a caramel-
like finish on the palate.
