Trader Joe's Freeze Dried Tart Cherries - 1.2 oz

Freeze-dried tart cherries. The defining point is that no sugar is added — so they're not candy-sweet; the tart cherry's intense sourness comes through fully. US reviewers call them 'really, really tart.' Freeze-drying makes them light and crisp, with the cherry's deep flavor concentrated.

Eaten plain, the strong tartness is both the appeal and a love-it-or-not point; paired with dark or white chocolate, or added to oatmeal and granola, the sour-and-sweet balance is where they shine. They're also excellent in baking — muffins and scones.

• With dark chocolate — tart and sweet find their balance.
• In oatmeal or granola — adds a tart accent.
• As a baking ingredient — great in muffins or scones.
• Mixed with nuts — make a trail mix.
• As a yogurt topping — crushed for a tart crunch.

This one's a good fit if

• You love tart flavors
• You want a no-sugar-added fruit snack
• You want a baking / trail-mix ingredient
• You enjoy freeze-dried fruit

Tart cherries are hard to come by in Korea, and a version freeze-dried with no sugar to preserve that intense tartness is rarer still. A special pick for anyone who loves tart flavors or wants a pure fruit ingredient for baking and trail mix. Note the tartness is very strong.
