An apparatus for singularizing and separating cherries includes a product line defining a V-shaped slot and motorized belts installed on opposite walls defining the slot and arranged on the bottom thereof. The cherries are separated from their stems by circular blades rotating around axes preferably orthogonal to the direction of said “V” slot. Preferably, in the position corresponding to said rotating circular blades, on the upper edges of said opposite walls is installed a respective rising face, oriented upwardly and preferably inclined and lying on the same plane of the respective said opposite wall, parallel to the direction of said “V” slot, provided with a front edge that is downwardly oriented and inclined toward the direction of origin of the vegetable products. The lower corner of the rising face is substantially disposed on the upper edge of the respective opposite wall the two lower portions of the two circular blades rotate at a height that is lower than the upper side of the respective rising face, and said circular blades are arranged externally of the upper sides of the respective said rising face.
