Organic Sour Cherry Juice Concentrate

Organic sour cherry juice concentrate is made from sour 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 color to foods. It's often found in frozen desserts, snacks, and beverages, where it can also contribute sweetness.

Sour cherry juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of antioxidants, and some studies suggest it may help with sleep and reduce inflammation, though more research is needed. JECFA and EFSA have not specifically evaluated this ingredient.
