What it is

Cherry juice is the liquid extracted from cherries, a stone fruit grown on trees. The juice is typically made by crushing and pressing ripe cherries. It can be used as a flavoring or coloring agent in foods and beverages.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cherry juice for its natural fruit flavor and red color. It is commonly found in candies, ice cream, yogurt, jams, jellies, and fruit-flavored beverages. It can also be used in salad dressings and baked goods like waffles.

Health notes

Cherry juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of vitamins and antioxidants. Some studies suggest that tart cherry juice may help reduce inflammation and muscle soreness after exercise, but more research is needed to confirm these effects. JECFA has evaluated cherry juice and established an acceptable daily intake. EFSA has also evaluated cherry juice and did not set a numeric limit.

Allergen info

Cherry juice is not derived from any of the FDA's nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
