Freeze-dried Sweet Cherries
Add the finishing touch with a cherry on top!
MOMENCE, ILLINOIS - (January 21, 2010) – Make your food products sweet and complete by adding delicious Freeze-dried Sweet Cherries from Van Drunen Farms (VDF).
Cherries have been a favorite of many for centuries, from early settlers to U.S. Presidents. There are over 1,000 varieties of cherry trees in the U.S. and of those, only about 10 varieties are produced commercially. Sweet cherries are available in varieties such as Bing, Lambert and Rainier cherries. These three account for more than 95 percent of the Northwestern sweet cherry production.
Sweet cherries are a versatile fruit that goes with just about anything! These great-to-eat treats are quite healthy for us as well—they are fat-, sodium- and cholesterol-free. They are also a good source of vitamin C, potassium and antioxidants.
Cherries in general, however, have a brief harvest season and they are highly perishable. There are no worries, though, about their availability or shelf life when using the freeze-dried form of sweet cherries from Van Drunen Farms—this cherry product is sourced in the U.S. and E.U. which allows for year-round availability.
Freeze-drying removes the moisture from the fruit while preserving the natural flavor, color and nutritional value. In this convenient form, they are easy to use, economical and reconstitute immediately.
Applications for VDF Freeze-dried Sweet Cherries include cereals, snacks, granola bars, breads and muffins, and much more.
Van Drunen Farms offers Freeze-dried Sweet Cherry Products in a wide variety of sizes including whole, sliced, diced and powder form. Customization is available.
