Description

Unsweetened sour red cherries are small, round fruits characterized by their intensely sour flavor and vibrant bright red color. They are a variety of cherry that has not been sweetened, thus maintaining their natural and refreshing taste, making them ideal for adding a touch of acidity to various cooking recipes, from desserts and jams to salads and savory dishes.

The origin of sour cherries dates back to temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, especially in countries like the United States, Canada, and various nations in Europe. They are highly valued for their versatility in the kitchen and their high antioxidant content.

Regarding their properties, these cherries are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants (such as flavonoids and anthocyanins), and essential minerals, making them a beneficial food for health, contributing to reducing inflammation and protecting the immune system. As they contain no added sugar, they are ideal for low-sugar diets or for people looking to control their caloric intake.

In the Hispanic world, sour cherries may have different synonyms depending on the country. Some of the most common are cereza agria, guinda (especially in Mexico and Chile), and guinda roja. These terms refer to the same sour fruit that is primarily used in traditional and modern recipes for its distinctive flavor.
