What it is
These are individual servings of mixed fruit, featuring cherries as a primary component. The fruit is packed in water and sweetened using natural extracts from stevia and monk fruit. This offers a way to enjoy fruit with added sweetness without using traditional sugars. The fruit pieces are typically soft and ready to eat directly from the container.

Open the container and drain the liquid if desired. The fruit can be eaten directly from the cup. It can also be added to yogurt, cereal, or oatmeal for a touch of sweetness and fruit flavor. For a simple dessert, serve chilled on its own or as a topping for ice cream or angel food cake. It can also be incorporated into fruit salads or used as a garnish for other dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fruit packed in syrup, this product uses water as the liquid base and is sweetened with plant-based extracts. This provides a lighter sweetness profile compared to sugar-sweetened options. The mixed fruit blend offers a variety of flavors and textures beyond just cherries.
