Fit Healthy Cherries Into Your Diet
Montmorency tart cherries are easy to fit into your regular routine even though they are rarely in the fresh fruit section at your favorite grocery store. Montmorency tart cherries have a very short fresh shelf life, only lasting around 24 hours after being picked.
Fortunately, there are several way to preserve tart cherries without compromising their extraordinary health benefits.
Frozen Cherries
Freezing cherries preserves the maximum amount of nutrients along with he fabulous tart cherry flavor and texture. Our cherries are Individually Quick Frozen (IQF), which is a culinary practice where each piece of fruit is frozen separately from the others, making them easy to handle and take out small amounts at a time.
These cherries are perfect for cooking, baking, as a yogurt or ice cream topping, or just slightly thawed on their own.
Tart Cherries in Water
We understand there is always a stigma around “canned” anything. Don’t be fooled by the package though with this product. There is absolutely nothing added to these cherries (no sugar, no preservatives, etc.); the only ingredients in this spectacular product are water and pitted Montmorency tart cherries.
This gives you that fresh feel of cherries without having to pick them off the trees yourself.
U-Pick Cherries
This is one of the only ways to get fresh Montmorency tart cherries due to their 24 hour shelf life. Not only will you be getting an extremely unique product, but you will get the amazing opportunity to walk through the orchard and hand pick your own fruit.
Oh, and did I mention we will pit the cherries with our commercial pitter while you watch so they are ready to go into your freezer?
Dried Cherries
Dried Montmorency tart cherries make a tasty snack, full of a sweet tart, tangy flavor that’s good for you.
Many of our customers enjoy tossing dried cherries in their morning oatmeal, a cup of yogurt or cereal, on salads, or as a refreshing alternative to raisins in their favorite recipe.
Cherry Juice
Montmorency tart cherry juice concentrate gives you the maximum amount of cherries per serving. Our cherry juice concentrate contains at least 2000 cherries for every 32 oz (quart) bottle. The amount of nutrients per 1 ounce serving is tremendous. Concentrated cherry juice allows you to easily incorporate it into your regular routine (adding it to your morning orange juice, yogurt, or protein shake (the possibilities are endless!). Why we love concentrate.
Cherry Capsules
Cherry capsules are a great way to incorporate cherries into your regular routine. This is a cherry powder produced from whole tart Montmorency cherries that have been processed to a finished freeze-dried powder and put into a vegetarian capsule. This is a good choice if you want your max cherry but are not a fan of the bold tart taste of the cherry juice.
Imitators Abound – ALWAYS READ THE LABEL!
Many brands of Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate are actually using imported cherries in their concentrate. Support your local grower! Montmorency tart cherries are a U.S. grown product so don’t be fooled by other imported varieties of cherries like the Morello that is grown in Poland.
The advantage to buying from King Orchards is that you are ALWAYS buying cherries grown in the USA!
