Cherry juice

Cherry juice is a liquid extracted from cherries, a small, round fruit with a deep or dark red color, known for its sweet and slightly acidic flavor. This juice is commonly used in cooking to add a fruity and refreshing touch to beverages, desserts, sauces, and marinades.

The origin of cherry juice dates back to regions where cherries are cultivated, mainly in countries of the northern hemisphere such as the United States, Canada, and various European countries. In Latin America, although production is lower, its use in traditional and modern recipes is increasing due to its nutritional characteristics and distinctive flavor.

Among its properties, cherry juice stands out for being rich in antioxidants, vitamins (especially vitamin C), and natural anti-inflammatory compounds. Additionally, it provides a vibrant color and a balanced flavor that can complement both sweet and savory preparations.

In Hispanic America, cherry juice may also be known as zumo de cereza or simply cherry extract, although the most common designation is jugo or zumo, depending on the country.
