Frequently Asked Questions

What is the different between  CherryActive and Active Edge?  

In short, nothing. Both are made from the same premium quality Montmorency Cherries. It is a pure branding exercise to enable the incorporation of new product line such as BeetActive.

How should CherryActive® concentrated juices be stored?  

We do not add any chemical or other preservatives to our concentrated juices. We (and our customers) prefer to keep the juices as natural as possible. Therefore, ALL CherryActive/Active Edge concentrated juices should be stored refrigerated (open and unopened) to keep them in optimum condition (as per the storage instructions on the product). They are okay to be transported (eg via courier) unrefrigerated, but please pop them in the fridge when they arrive. NB You can also store them in the freezer! They won’t freeze solid, just go very thick. This will preserve their properties for even longer.

Although CherryActive® concentrates and dried fruit do not contain any added sugars, they do contain natural fruit sugars (please see product label for sugar and carbohydrate content).  Therefore these sugars should be included in a diabetic’s total recommended daily sugar and carbohydrate intake.

Why do I notice sediment in some batches of CherryActive® Concentrates?

CherryActive® fruits and vegetables are harvested at their peak, normally during July/August and during processing some batches may have sediment which settles in the bottle. Variances in taste and color may also occur. Since CherryActive® products have no artificial colours or sweeteners, these variances may be noticeable in the product and it is not abnormal for the product color to darken with time. This is a natural process and in no way affects the efficacy of the product.
