The easiest way for you to find out is to try it. But we’ll give you a little hint before you do.

Like the name implies, tart cherries have a subtle tartness, a little sour kick similar to blackberries. But that’s balanced by a slight sweetness that comes from the naturally occurring sugar found in tart cherries, the superfruit sometimes called “nature’s secret weapon”.

The Benefits of Tart Cherries

Tart cherries don’t just taste good, they’re amazing for you. They’re filled with antioxidants, anthocyanins, and melatonin that mean they’re amazing for fighting inflammation, helping your muscles to repair faster  so that your muscles are less sore, and giving you better quality sleep.

But how do you get enough to feel the health benefits of tart cherry juice? Well, that’s where our process helps.

Our process

We only pick the best cherries during the three week period in the year in Utah and Michigan when they’re in full harvest and at their most perfect ripeness. We use a hydraulic tree shaker which imitates the movement of the wind to gently shake them off the tree, ensuring that only the ripe cherries drop on their own and are unlikely to be damaged.

To preserve the delicious flavor and all those amazing benefits of tart cherry juice, we use a proprietary process developed by Cornell University scientists we call ‘gentle juicing’. This involves juicing tart cherries with minimal heat to ensure that they still retain all their antioxidants and nutrients so that you get the best benefits from this natural juice. 

We’re left with delicious tart cherry juice that we like to think of as the taste of fitness recovery. There's no secret ingredient, no extra additives, or processed syrupy sugars. Just the 60 tart cherries that make up every 8oz bottle of PURE Cheribundi.
