Product Information

Pits from cherries will not grow true to type. What does this mean? Seeds will produce plants that are hybrids of two plants, the “mother” tree where the fruit grew and the “father” tree that produced the pollen. Save the pits from the cherries you’ve just devoured and put them in a bowl of warm water. Let the pits soak for five minutes or so and then lightly scrub them free of any clinging fruit. Spread the clean pits out on a paper towel in a warm area out of direct sunlight and let them dry for three to five days, then transfer the dry pits to a plastic bag or glass jar, labeled and fitted with a tight lid. 2. Stratification A single cherry contains 0.17 grams of cyanide per each gram of seed. So, depending on the size of the pit, it will take a lot of freshly-ground cherry seeds (approximately 588) to give you a lethal dose. So, swallowing one or two of them accidentally won’t kill you. What Happens If You Eat a Cherry Pit? Some fruit stones have pointed ends, like those in nectarines, and these can be sharp. Additionally, if your dog bites into a stone or chews it up, this can result in sharp shards of the stone being ingested, which might cause internal damage, which can be quite serious.

The fruit of wild cherry is the only non-poisonous part of the tree. Cherry stones contain amygdalin, a cyanogenic glycoside which, when chewed, mixes with various enzymes and releases cyanide. Cherry twigs and leaves contain prunasin, a cyanogenic glycoside related to amygdalin. Annually, there are reported occurrences of cyanide poisoning in horses following the ingestion of cherry leaves. In conclusion, cherry pits are poisonous. But, your body has a defense mechanism to detoxify the naturally-occurring toxins in certain types of foods you eat. Your immune system protects you against these mild intakes. This means that ingesting fruit stones brings with it the theoretical risk of toxicity from ingesting the cyanine present in the kernels too. However, this is only really mentioned for the sake of completeness; a dog would have to eat such a large number of fruit stones that cyanide poisoning would probably be the least of their worries before any meaningful risk of toxicity actually arose.
