Organic Cherries

Cherries are small, round, fleshy fruits that grow on trees. They can be sweet or tart and are typically red or dark red in color. "Organic" means they were grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

Cherries are used as a flavoring and ingredient in a wide variety of foods. They are often found in baked goods, desserts, yogurts, cereals, and snack bars. Manufacturers use them for their distinct sweet or tart flavor and appealing color.

Cherries are a source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Some research suggests that compounds in cherries may have anti-inflammatory properties. Regulatory bodies like the FDA consider cherries to be safe as a food ingredient. International bodies such as JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for cherries as a standalone ingredient are not typically highlighted in the same way as additives.
