Dark Sweet Cherry Juice Concentrate

Dark sweet cherry juice concentrate is produced by removing water from the juice of dark sweet cherries (Prunus avium), typically to increase shelf life and sweetness. It contains naturally occurring sugars, vitamins, minerals, and polyphenols such as anthocyanins, which are responsible for the deep red color. It is sometimes used as a natural flavoring or sweetener in foods and beverages. The ingredient is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended.
