A type of dark cherry, also called a Guigne cherry, known for its dark red to black color and firm flesh.
From French 'guigne,' from Low German or Dutch origins. The word entered English through French fruit terminology and refers to a specific sweet cherry cultivar.
The Guigne cherry is one of the oldest cherry types documented in European cultivation, and the fact that we borrowed the French word shows how food terms travel with actual products!
