Did you know that February is National Cherry Month? In order to celebrate, Frutas de Chile together with its Cherry Committee has organized numerous promotions, giving buyers many reasons to celebrate. From contests to the publication of an online magazine to provide various information about the season, as well as recipes to enjoy this healthy fruit creatively, are part of the initiatives.
National Cherry Month is celebrated this February because it is the month of big events like President’s Day, as well as the birthday of George Washington, who the story says cut down a cherry tree when he was young. He admitted what he had done to his father, who proclaimed that his son’s honesty was worth more than a thousand trees.
And speaking of thousands, consumers can win thousands of dollars through contests scheduled by the Cherry Committee, which just concluded one at the end of January and will host two more before mid-February. One to celebrate National Cherry Month and one for Valentine’s Day.
Within this month, the Committee also launched its first online magazine, which you can visit by CLICKING HERE. The magazine includes numerous tips, nutritional information and recipe ideas that are manageable, even by a novice cook. Consumers can flip through the magazine at their leisure and try everything from cherry oatmeal and cherry chocolate brownies to cherry salads and cherry ricotta toast.
