Stopped at a grocery store after a false alert made me get up and go to a data center (gotta love IT) early this morning. Cherries (big-ish) Product of the USA (no clue as to what type) for $3.98/lbs

Got some at Costco last week that were quite good. Supposed to be $5.99 for 2 pounds. Of course the best looking container was an organic one that I didn’t even see a tag for. Charged $9.99.

Most likely, haven't had enough time to properly ripen. The sugars haven't had a chance to develop.

Yup, not a great cherry season. I expect lots of storm damage occurred in Northern CA (at a time when the nearly-ripe fruit would split), and our short local season is long done.

I bought them for $3.59/lb on the weekend - not bad consider how it usually is

All the ones from Costco recently were pretty good. The organic ones were 8/10, and normal ones 7/10.

No fuzz growth detected? IIRC you've had some not so great batches in the past.

On the $4.99 batch, I found one cherry with a slight amount of mold. Packed in WA, on June 25th, so about a week before we bought it. I try to look at the bottom of the container, to look for such things. My daughter picked it out, but I doubt I’d have spotted it, either.
