FREEZE-DRIED CHERRY

Origin: Mixed

Size: 1 to 2 cm, slices

Freeze-dried cherries are fruits that have undergone a dehydration process to remove the water from fresh cherries. They are often confused with dried cherries, but there is a slight difference between the two. Unlike dried cherries, which are often treated with sugar to enhance their flavor, freeze-dried cherries are simply dried without any additional processing.

Freeze-dried cherries have a firm texture and are often used as an ingredient in dessert recipes, salads, and meat dishes, or as a healthy snack. They have a sweet, fruity flavor that can be more pronounced than that of fresh cherries. Freeze-dried cherries are rich in fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, making them a nutritious source of nutrients. They are also high in natural sugar, which can make them an energy-boosting snack choice.

Freeze-dried cherries can be eaten as is, added to nut mixes, mixed into breakfast cereals, or used in recipes for breads, cakes, and cereal bars.
