What it is

Black sweet cherries are a variety of cherry known for their dark, almost black skin and sweet flavor. They are grown on trees and are typically harvested in the summer. The fruit can be eaten fresh, or processed into juices, jams, and other products.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use black sweet cherries primarily for their flavor and color. They are often found in fruit spreads, yogurts, baked goods, and desserts. The cherries can be used whole, pitted, or as a puree to add a natural fruit taste and visual appeal.

Health notes

Black sweet cherries are a natural food product and are not regulated as a food additive by the FDA. They are a source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. While generally considered safe, some individuals may experience digestive upset from consuming large quantities of cherries due to their fiber and sorbitol content. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated cherries as a foodstuff but do not set specific intake limits for them.

Allergen info

Black sweet cherries are not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
