Fruit
Seeds
Seeds of cherry are eaten, pressed or discarded depending on the plant. Culinary seeds add crunch or oil; hard pits are removed. Toast aromatic seeds; strain unwanted seeds from purées. Follow species edibility—some seeds are not food. Rest after high heat so juices redistribute before carving or plating.
