Michigan Tart Cherry Products
(back to the ordering page)
Tart or "sour" cherries, for which northern Michigan is famous,
are actually the Montmorency variety of cherry. These are extremely
perishable and very difficult to sell as a fresh fruit, which is
why you won't see them in the fresh produce section of your supermarket.

Tart Cherries in Water
This is the old-fashioned way to keep and use tart cherries.
The tart cherries are rushed from our trees and packed and canned
in the traditional way. No sugar, preservatives, dyes or other
ingredients are added. Just cherries in water. Great for baking
and making various desserts, and many people like to eat them
on cereal, ice cream, or right out of the container.
Tart Cherries in Water; 15 oz. - $2.49
No preservatives, artificial coloring or artificial flavoring.

Dried Tart Cherries
Dried fruit is a great healthy snack - dried tart cherries
have very high ORAC values (the measurement of anti-oxidant
capacity) and great taste. These are premium dried tart cherries
- plump and flavorful. "What raisins should be and aren't" was
a recent comment by a customer. Dried cherries make a wonderful
addition to salads and baked goods.

What about "Black Cherries" and "Black Cherry" Juice I see Advertised?
Many companies are advertising "Black Cherry" juice and some are suggesting that it is the same or gives the same benefits as tart cherry juice. You should know that the research about anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties were all done on Montmorency tart cherries, grown primarily here in northern Michigan.
While black or Bing cherries are great for fresh eating and we ourselves grow them along with our tart cherries, tart cherries are the ones with that true cherry taste for cooking and baking.
