Berrilys Dried Tart Cherries - Unsweetened, No Sugar Added, Pitted, Unsulfured, No Preservatives, Non-GMO, 16 oz

I like to eat tart cherries for joint pain and muscle soreness from working out. I also find they improve sleep quality. I prefer the dried fruit as opposed to juice to get the fiber. I just make sure to drink water when eating dehydrated fruit. I really love that they are unsweetened and are not coated in oil or sulfites like other brands. These are simply tart cherries, nothing more! For those reviewers complaining that they’re not sweet, they obviously have a primed sweet tooth from the standard American diet. There are plenty of garbage brands out there that unnecessarily add sugar to fruit, so these people should seek that out and not criticize products that offer consumers a healthy choice. I do not eat foods with added sugar and prefer a whole food plant based diet. These cherries are sweet the way nature intended. They are plenty sweet for me and I love the tartness. This will be my go-to brand for now on.

I bought dried cherries of three different brands. This one has a few things unique:1. Drier than my other two brands, which means 1 lb contains more fresh fruit to start with.2. The flavor is a nice blend of sweetness and a little sourness. Since it contains no added sugar, the flavor is more natural. I like the slight sourness best because it stimulate saliva secretion and boost my appetite or improve digestion.3. The size of each cherry is smaller than the others, possibly because the fresh cherries were from smaller varieties. But this is not an issue for me. I actually prefer the smaller fresh cherries whenever they are available in summer. They have richer flavors than the big and dark red varieties.

Wow, totally different from the last order. Tiny, dried out, little flavor. Disappointing!!

Perfect. Loved no sugar added. Chewy, but not hard at all.

Tasty tart cherries however they seem awfully dry much drier than others that I’ve had. Some were rock hard. I prefer them plumper. Good for digestion and to counter inflammation.

I give one star for 5 pounds quantity at a good price. One star for the cherries were well packaged and probably healthy. The cherries are much smaller than I’m used to. About the size of the cheaper raisins. I put maybe 20-30 cherries to soak with my oatmeal. I could detect some sourness, which is ok, not much sweetness or cherry flavor detected in oatmeal soaked cherries, but I ran into two cherry pits, which seems like too high frequency for my preference. Combined these observations enter into my summary of pitiful quality. If a person was chewing hard, breaking a tooth has some potential. I read several of the comments about really sour, pits, small size, little flavor, so buying to save a few bucks is my own fault. The date of quality suggested about 4 months. I’ll keep them refrigerated and that should help. I won’t be buying this brand again, and will carefully eat my budget minded cherries, kicking myself for the next months as we eat them, and enjoy the thought of all the antioxidants we are consuming..Update: We went through about a pound of cherries in well soaked oatmeal mostly. Seldom any pits since my first report. Still report they are very tart, and not a lot of cherry taste. I’m upping my rating from 2 to 3 stars. My wife likes the tartness, so for that reason, I added a star 🌟.

Excellent counter to overly sweet cherries. Work great in my mincemeat pie recipe.

They are small but super delicious.healthy choice for people who try to avoid eating sugar. I will order it again
