Dark sweet frozen cherries

Frozen dark sweet cherries are small, round fruits with a deep red, almost black color, characterized by their sweet and juicy flavor. These cherries are ideal for use in a variety of recipes, from desserts like pies, cakes, and ice cream, to smoothies and sauces for savory dishes.

The origin of sweet cherries dates back to temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, especially in countries such as the United States (primarily in states like Washington and Michigan), Turkey, and Chile. Freezing allows their freshness and flavor to be preserved throughout the year, making them easy to use outside of their natural season.

Among their properties, their content of antioxidants, vitamins A and C, as well as dietary fiber, stands out. They are a good source of natural melatonin, which can help regulate sleep, and they have anti-inflammatory properties.

In different Latin American countries, cherries may be known by synonyms such as guindas (Chile, Argentina), although in some places this term is used more for sour varieties. However, in the culinary context, the simple term "cherries" is usually preferred to refer to this fruit, especially the frozen sweet version.
