With the popularity of Trader Joe’s 100% Tart Cherry Juice, it’s only natural that mouth-puckering Freeze Dried Tart Cherries have landed on our shelves! Freeze Dried Tart Cherries start as whole cherries that are hand-picked and pitted in the Kutahya region of Turkey. When fresh, the fruit is large and heart-shaped with firm flesh, reddish-purple coloring, and a tart taste. Their size may shrink to the size of a marble after 48-60 hours of drying, but their color and flavor? They’re amplified to their most sour, deep garnet-red form with newly crisp texture. Free from preservatives like sulfur dioxide, each resealable bag only contains Tart Cherries in tip-top, Freeze Dried form. When eaten on their own, Freeze Dried Tart Cherries make for a naturally tart alternative to sour candy. Add delightful bursts of sourness to morning meals and desserts by sprinkling over Organic Plain Yogurt, overnight oats, or French Vanilla Ice Cream. Or, incorporate them into syrups and baked goods when you want notable Tart Cherry flavor without adding extra water.
