Eating cherries regularly can provide a number of health benefits. Cherries are low in calories and a good source of fiber, vitamins and minerals. They're also rich in antioxidants, which can help reduce inflammation, improve heart health, and strengthen the immune system. In addition, cherries may help improve sleep, reduce muscle pain, and help control weight.

To wash cherries, follow these steps:

1. Drain the cherries in a colander and rinse under cold running water. Use your hands to gently rub the cherries to remove dirt and residue.

2. Fill a large bowl with cold water and add a little vinegar or lemon juice. Let the cherries soak for a few minutes to remove pesticides and bacteria.

3. After soaking, rinse the cherries again under cold running water to remove any remaining vinegar or lemon juice.

4. Pat the cherries dry with a clean towel or paper towel before storing them in the refrigerator or eating them as a snack.
