Product information "Sour Cherries Organic"
Sour cherries: Organic, Raw & Fairtrade
Update: As PlantLife is bankrupt, we have packed the new batch of sour cherries in our own 250g bags. The quality and origin (Uzbekistan) are unchanged.
Our wild-collected organic sour cherries from Uzbekistan are very fruity and very tart in flavour. The bright dark colour is created during the gentle drying process.

Origin and production
The organic Fairtrade sour cherries come exclusively from Uzbekistan. The area is extensively certified organic and FAIRTRADE and is farmed by the FAIRTRADE farmers living there. The farmers belong to a large Fairtrade community, which is made up of 3 groups, Dustkul Bogi, Turkiston Gulba and Turob Bobo. They include around 1000 individual farmers and their families. Thanks to the co-operation with Fairtrade, the farmers can offer their families a secure income and their children a new perspective.
After harvesting, the sour cherries are washed, pitted and gently dried with the help of the sun. The solar drying method is very environmentally friendly and gentle on the produce.
Sour cherries (Prunus cerasus) belong to the rose family (Rosaceae). They have less flesh than sweet cherries. Sour cherries originally come from south-west Asia and, unlike sweet cherries, only became known in Europe in the Middle Ages.
