Certified Organic All-Natural Frozen Sour Cherries from Turkey (1kg)
Choose options
One full bag of 1kg (2.2lbs) 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, washed, 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. This product is grown to organic standards in Europe and Japan.
If you enjoy sour cherries, we also offer pure tart cherry juice from Poland.
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?
✔ Strictly tested for E Coli, coliforms, molds, yeasts as well as listeria and salmonella and therefore meets very high microbiological safety standards.
✔ Free of harmful synthetic chemical inputs such as fertilizer, pesticides or any food additives.
✔ Free of genetically modified seeds (non-GMO)
✔ The farmland and soil in use are free of any chemical treatments.
✔ Organic produce is heavily regulated. Producers and importers are checked and inspected by governmental bodies or certified third parties. Organic certification requires detailed bookkeeping and documentation for 100% traceability. "Certified organic" is a protected phrase and the use is legally restricted.
✔ Organic farming is more sustainable when it comes to holistic food production. The lack of harmful pesticides is better for the environment.
✔ Organic produce comes mostly from family-owned farms that own smaller acres of organic land.
It is also important to mention that organic produce is more cost-intensive. Organic farming has lower yields compared to conventional farming and is oftentimes more labor-intensive as well. Additionally, organic certification and audits require annual fees for producers, exporters, and importers resulting in higher prices for the end consumers.
Please note that non-GMO and chemical-free produce will often have a minor degree of defects; these may include individual differences like slight deformities, discoloration, and under/over ripeness. In rare cases there may be insect damage, scratches, or mold which cannot be seen during inspections. However, these are not harmful and can simply be removed. Thank you for your understanding.
