Certified Organic Frozen Sour Cherries from Turkey (1kg)

This product has now received JAS (Japanese Agricultural Standards) organic certification. The product has been produced in accordance with organic standards for a while, so rest assured there is no change in the content of the product, but it is now recognized as such by Japan's high standards.

One full bag of 1kg (2.2lbs) certified organic, naturally farmed, and fresh frozen sour cherries from the pristine mountainous region of Turkey. No use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. GMO-free. Hand-picked, pitted, and individually flash-frozen (IQF) for freshness.

These cherries may have a higher content of tartness, hence their sour taste, but they still have a fair amount of sweetness to them. They are perfect for people who like a balance between sweet and sour and are not into overly sweet fruits.

About Certified Organic

This product is certified Japan Agricultural Standard Organic (JAS) - both in the country of origin and Japan. Japan has one of the world's strictest organic certification standards. But what does certified organic mean when it comes to fruits and vegetables?

✔ Free of harmful synthetic chemical inputs such as fertilizer, pesticides, antibiotics, food additives, irradiation, and the use of sewage sludge.

✔ Free of genetically modified seeds (non-GMO).

✔ The farmland and soil in use have at least been 3 years free of any chemical treatment before the harvest has been certified as organic.

✔ Organic certifications come with multiple audits or on-site visits a year. Organic producers are rigidly checked and inspected by governmental bodies or certified third parties. 

✔ Organic farming prohibits the use of harmful pesticides and enhances biodiversity and results in better soil quality and healthier earth.

✔ Organic vegetables and fruits are produced mostly by family-owned farms that own smaller acres of organic land. Organic farming is more profitable for farmers and gives them a fair chance to live a sustainable life and support their local communities.

It is also important to mention that organic farming has lower yields compared to conventional farming and is oftentimes more labor-intensive as well. Additionally, organic certification and auditions require annual fees for producers, exporters, and importers resulting in higher prices for end consumers.
