what is added to make them so sweet? artificial sweeteners or corn syrup? I'd like just plain ole tart cherries, NO sweeteners of any kind.

It says fructose and sucrose on the ingredients list. Try the no sugar added cherries by Country Spoon!

I don't think the can specified the cherry name, but the ones we received from Amazon were great. We have cherry trees, but low cherries this year. These Oregon Fruit co. cherries were a great substitute. They didn't taste "old", but just "canned" rather than fresh.

Yes there is a little added sugar - not too much, though. These cherries absolutely have done wonders for insomnia - eat 1/4 cup about an hour or hour-and-a-half before bedtime and you're off to sleepyland. This works when nothing else will.

There is no sweetener added, just palm fruit oil which I believed is used for consistency because I imagine in their processing they lose some of the oil from the almond. Ideally, I wish they added nothing.

Unsweetened and nothing but cranberry. It's actually not that sweet at all but more tart. That's because they do NOT add any sugar or any other type sweetener or juice to it. Excellent product.

My reasoning exactly. Since "we are what we eat", we owe it to ourselves to know as much as we can about what we ingest. The more organic, the better ! As to how I keep my cherries: upon arrival, I get rid of the plastic bags they are packaged in originally, and transfer them in 2L glass canning jars (with a rubber gasket on the attached lid). I think glass is better than plastic to maintain a neutral taste, especially over longer periods of time and at room temperature. Our jars of cherries sit out on the counter, not in the frig. Thanks for sharing !

The Montmorency cherry is supposed to be one of the best tart cherries. I hope that this is correct and it should be listed on the bottle.

cherry sweet tart, and slightly gritty or chunky to me, I did not mind taking them but they have a texture too, they don't crush up as fine as others I have tried when chewing

It's supposed to be all natural, that's what they state on product description too : "No artificial flavors or sweeteners". I would double check with them though, just to play safe.

Well...yes it's candy! All candy has some kind of sugar, so moderation is the key. The sugar free brand of any candy or food product can have side effects. I don't think young children should ever have artificial sweeteners! So limit your sugar intake. They do have a nice flavor.

I would be appalled if they add a sweetener because some sweeteners being used by the industry are not harmless.I even did not have this idea! But I am making my own liposomal Vitamin C, so I know this one contains only Vitamin C and sunflower lecithin.George Knorr

Good grief no. That is why they are so good. They simply marinate full ripe cherries in the brandy and then cover the with chocolate. My wife loves chocolate cherry cordials and no matter what other ones I find for her to try these are the only ones that are worth eating.

Yes, there is some added sugar but the cherries retain some level of tartness. The pack lists the ingredients as montmorency cherries, sugar and sunflower oil.

No, they are not. They are corn syrup, and high corn syrup free, though! Definitely sweet, but from the fruits that make them, so no, not sugar free.
