Keep in mind
 
When producing cherries, sometimes high amount of pesticide is used. So always be careful when buying cherry and make sure that you eat it at its harvesting season.
 
For cherries to remain fresh longer, don't pick off the stalks before placing cherries in the fridge.

Cherry stalk is a great food for us, but not for babies, cause when you boil and drink it, it helps removing the edema in the body.

However don't ever let your baby eat cherries by himself. It may easily stick in his throat. You can wrap it inside a cheesecloth or use fruit nets produced specifically for this purpose.
