One of the most exotic fruits on earth, cherries have been on everyone’s fruit list forever. While you must have eaten the regular ones, have you tried rare but succulent and sweet-tart cornelian cherries? Since antiquity, the sunny yellow flowers of the cornelian cherry with the plant bearing cute little red fruits have made their way into everyone's heart. A unique and attractive plant of the Dogwood family, the cornelian cherry, also called cornels, is not really cherry. They are known for their ornamental value besides providing a lovely and delightful taste.
