Organic Red Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate

Organic red tart cherry juice concentrate is made from red tart cherries grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The cherries are pressed to extract juice, which is then concentrated by removing water, intensifying the flavor and color.

Manufacturers use it to add a tart, fruity flavor and natural red color to foods and beverages. It is commonly found in fruit juices, nectars, and drinks, and can also be used in baked goods, sauces, and yogurts.

Organic red tart cherry juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of antioxidants, and some research suggests potential benefits for sleep and exercise recovery, though more studies are needed. JECFA and EFSA have not specifically evaluated this concentrated form, but cherry juice itself is considered safe.
