Frozen pitted cherries

Description

Frozen, pitted cherries have an intense, slightly tart flavor with a pleasant sweetness and a deep ruby color of the flesh, and the absence of pits makes them easy to use in the kitchen. They are rich in antioxidants, especially anthocyanins, contain vitamin C, potassium, fiber, as well as anti-inflammatory compounds and trace amounts of melatonin, which supports immunity, heart health, and body regeneration. They work perfectly in smoothies, compotes, sauces for meats, baked goods, ice cream desserts, and jams, as well as an addition to oatmeal or drinks; they can be used both hot and cold. Store in the freezer in an airtight container, best used within 6–12 months for optimal quality; thaw in the refrigerator or add frozen directly to cooking, avoid refreezing.
