What it is

Organic cherry powder is made from dried organic cherries that have been ground into a fine powder. Cherries are fruits that grow on trees and are known for their bright red color and tart-sweet flavor. The powder is used to impart cherry flavor and color to foods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic cherry powder as a natural coloring agent and flavor enhancer. It is often found in processed meats like sausages and hot dogs, as well as in dairy products and nutritional supplements. Its fruity notes can also complement other ingredients in various food applications.

Health notes

Organic cherry powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. Cherries are a source of antioxidants and other beneficial compounds. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated cherry and cherry products, but specific evaluations of the powder's health effects at typical consumption levels are limited. Evidence suggests that compounds in cherries may have anti-inflammatory properties.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Cherries are not among the nine FDA major allergens, nor do they contain gluten.
