For red cherries to count as part of your diet’s five-a-day, you need to eat 16 of them and if you plan on doing this while shopping at Harrods that would cost a shocking £28.05.

Shoppers have left astounded that Harrods is punting the stone fruits for around £1.75 per single cherry.

The posh store says its grower is based in San Francisco and is the best in the world. But the price still seems extortionate and is sure to leave a bitter taste with some shoppers.When the Mirror newspaper visited Chrisp Street market in East London, they found trader Sarajul Haque selling red cherries at his bustling fruit and veg stall for just £6.60 a kilo.

He was gobsmacked when told of the Harrods price and said: “It’s way too much, how can anybody spend that? Here, they cost around £6 a kilo and I don’t think there’s any difference between them and the Harrods ones.” Meanwhile, Joan Clarke, 79, who was browsing in the market, said: “Near where I live in Bethnal Green I see them going for £7.99 a kilo on the market and usually wait until they go down a little bit before buying them.
