Our dried Dark Sweet Cherries are the “fire engine red” cherries everyone knows and loves! Dried Dark Sweet Cherries have a more distinctive taste profile that varies between a sweet and a tart flavor, which our dried cherries retain. Unlike many dried Montmorency cherries on the market, our dried dark sweet cherries are unsweetened- meaning NO added sugar of any kind! Our Dried Dark Sweet Cherries are a household favorite- great as a snack, the perfect addition to morning breakfasts in oatmeal or yogurt and a great ingredient for baking! They are also a great Mother's Day Gift! Our family cookie recipe including these cherries is a major hit among our family and friends- check out the back of our 1lb bag! Our unsweetened dried cherries are great as salad toppings or for use in glazes and cocktail drinks as well, but our favorite use is simple, healthy snacking- they’re the perfect "on the go snack" or addition to your child's lunch box heading to school! Even our dogs love them! In addition to being a beautiful fruit, cherries possess a great set of health benefits: cherries have anti-inflammatory properties which may help control arthritis and gout; cherries contain antioxidants which may help reduce the risk of heart disease; cherries contain anthocyanins which may help reduce the risk of Alzheimer's Disease; cherries are a source of melatonin which promotes a healthy sleep pattern; cherries are low on the glycemic index which help you feel fuller, longer; and cherries are a good source of potassium which may help control blood pressure!
