Cherries in juice

Cherries in juice are small, round fruits with a characteristic deep or dark red color, preserved in their own juice or in a natural syrup. This ingredient is widely used in cooking to provide a sweet and slightly acidic flavor, as well as a very pleasant fruity aroma, ideal for desserts, pastries, cocktails, and savory preparations that require a special touch.

The origin of cherries dates back to temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, such as Europe, Western Asia, and North America. Preservation in juice allows much of their natural properties and flavor to be retained, making them easy to use year-round without the need for fresh fruit.

Cherries in juice are a good source of antioxidants, vitamins (especially vitamin C and A), and minerals such as potassium. They are also known for their anti-inflammatory properties and their ability to improve digestion and promote overall well-being.

In different Spanish-speaking countries, cherries may also be known as guindas, although this term may vary by region. The juice in which they are preserved is generally natural or lightly sweetened, ideal for enhancing the flavor of recipes without adding artificial colorings or preservatives.
