Description

Frozen pitted sour cherries are small, juicy fruits known for their pronounced, slightly acidic and refreshing flavor. These cherries have been previously pitted and frozen to preserve their freshness and properties for longer, making them an ideal ingredient to use in a wide variety of recipes, from desserts like pies and smoothies to sauces and compotes.

Originally from temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, such as the United States and Eastern Europe, sour cherries (also called Montmorency cherries) are now cultivated in several Latin American countries, adapting well to different climatic zones.

Among their properties, their high content of antioxidants, vitamin C, and dietary fiber stands out, which contribute to improving digestion, strengthening the immune system, and combating inflammation. Furthermore, their sour flavor makes them perfect for balancing sweet preparations and adding a fresh and vibrant touch.

In different Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America, these frozen pitted sour cherries can be found under synonyms such as "frozen pitted morello cherries", "frozen seedless sour cherries", or simply "frozen pitted sour cherries". These terms make them easier to identify when searching for ingredients for recipes.
