What it is
Chokeberry juice comes from the dark purple berries of the chokecherry shrub, native to North America. The berries are typically pressed to extract their juice, which is known for its deep color and tart flavor.
Why it's used
Chokeberry juice is used as a natural colorant and flavor enhancer in foods like ice cream, yogurt, and frozen desserts. Its intense color can add visual appeal, while its tartness can balance sweetness in various products.
Health notes
Chokeberry juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which have been studied for potential health benefits. However, research is ongoing, and no specific health claims are approved by regulatory bodies. JECFA has evaluated chokeberry and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified).
Allergen info
Chokeberry juice is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
