"If you want to eat, you can taste it, our cherries are sweet and have a lot of moisture!" Wang Feng, a staff member in the fruit area, enthusiastically showed reporters the Chilean cherries that had just arrived this morning. The wrapped cherries are very plump and look very attractive.
Zhejiang Online reporter learned that cherries are generally distinguished according to the diameter of cherries and are divided into three levels, namely J, JJ, JJJ. The diameter of J grade cherries is 26mm-28mm, JJ grade is 28mm-30mm, and JJJ grade is 30mm-32mm. The larger the diameter of the individual fruit, the larger the size of the cherries and the higher the price. Wang Feng said that these cherries have just been listed recently, and the level is above JJJ, and the unit price is basically above 120 yuan per catty, and there are not many people who buy them.

Each box of golden cherries is about 30 pieces, and the price is about 120 yuan, which also means that each golden cherry costs 4 yuan.

"Golden cherries are a bit bigger and sweeter than regular cherries, but they do get a bit expensive. Wang Feng said that only a few young people will choose to buy golden cherries, and most people prefer to buy ordinary cherries to try them. The reporter observed in the fruit area for 15 minutes and found that many consumers shook their heads after looking at the price of high-grade cherries, and turned to choose lower-grade bulk cherries.
"Personally, I like to eat cherries very much, but the big ones are too expensive, so I can only eat the small ones to enjoy it. Ms. Xu, a citizen, told reporters that when the price of cherries drops down somewhat, she will also choose big cherries to feast on.
The reporter asked other fruit shop owners, and many shopkeepers told the reporter that the price of JJJ-grade cherries per catty is generally 100 yuan to 150 yuan. In addition, the price of JJJ-grade cherries on some online platforms is also generally more than 100 yuan per catty. For example, the price of JJJ-grade cherries 250g in Hema supermarket is 49.9 yuan, the price per catty is close to 100 yuan, the price of JJJ-grade cherries 250g in Dingdong is 79.9 yuan, which is equivalent to about 160 yuan per catty, and the price of JJJ-grade cherries in Xianfeng fruit is 149 yuan per catty on the takeaway platform.
