TikToker reveals trick to ensure worm-free cherries this season

Cherry season is in full swing, and their prices are no longer terrifying. As their season ends quickly, many of us are devouring these delicious fruits by the kilogram. Everything would be great if it weren't for one problem: Cherries are often wormy. A certain TikTok has shown a trick to make washing them as easy as it is effective. He also demonstrated why this is so important.

Cherries are considered one of the best summer fruits. They are sweet, and we have a large selection – from light yellow to red to almost black. These fruits have many health benefits. They contain a lot of vitamin C and fibre. However, even those who love them sometimes give them up. It's all because of the worms.

Cherries can become home to various unappetizing creatures. The most common are the larvae of the cherry fruit fly. Although there is no evidence that they could harm humans (certainly no more than the pesticides present in many fruits), everyone does not welcome them. TikTok @kozijamamoto showed how to get rid of them.

There is a simple way for the larvae of the cherry fruit fly to leave cherries. Just washing the fruits is not enough. The TikToker additionally used baking soda. It is often used for various kitchen tricks and proved helpful this time. This method is cheap and effective. Add a few tablespoons of baking soda, depending on how many cherries you have, fill a bowl with water, and put the fruits in it. It turns out that using this trick makes the white worms flee from the fruits in a panic.
