Product Information

Here in Brazil there is a kind of conspiracy theory that says all preserved cherries are made of chayote (a common fruit in South America), because chayote is tasteless and easy to cut in small balls. Because of the relative scarcity of the marasca, other cherries came to be preserved in various ways and sold as "maraschino".

This reminds me of a movie I saw a while back, in which a mad-scientist-plastic-surgeon kidnaps someone to be his subject, and performs surgery after surgery on them, altering their appearance more and more until they are completely unrecognizable from who they once were. Some manufacturers used maraschino or imitation liqueurs to flavor the cherries, but newspaper stories from the early part of the century suggest that many manufacturers stopped using alcohol and artificial dyes before Prohibition.Maraschino cherries pack nearly three times as many calories and grams of sugar than regular cherries — a result of being soaked in the sugar solution. This solution contains red food dye, sugar, and oil of bitter almonds or an oil with a similar flavor. For example, they mention that it looks very realistic, is lovely sitting in a dish for decoration, and is an excellent representation of the fruit. com, the Sell on Etsy app, and the Etsy app, as well as the electricity that powers Etsy’s global offices and employees working remotely from home in the US. It was horrific, and I don’t recommend the film, but that’s pretty much what these cherries go through.

It was the mad-scientist-plastic-surgeon’s dream to mold this person into his idea of bodily perfection. I have ingested so many of them in the past few months that I am a bit concerned that they can harm my health. My purpose in writing this article was that if my parents could take maraschino cherries for granted, and in tern, impress upon me that something so artificial was okay to eat, than there must be many others out there who don’t know how bad they really are. The truth is that I, as an adult, hold the same beliefs your very wise mother did, and would never want to put anything so fake in my body, if I can help it. They look great when placed next to other delicious looking artificial fruit, like peaches, green apples and kiwis.Today’s maraschino cherries are sweet cherries that have been artificially colored to be very bright red. Sure, I knew maraschino cherries were artificial and had no nutritional value, but the nostalgic in me wanted to believe they weren’t all bad. I look forward to getting to know you and hope you’ll be a regular contributor to Friendship Friday (and Inspire Me Monday) as well!
