Like most people, hubby and I made a few New Year’s Resolutions for 2015 and at the top of our resolution’s list is to eat healthier, get into shape and get our medical problems under control. For us, this is a multi-pronged approach of eating healthy food, drinking healthier beverages, getting more exercise and taking some health & wellness supplements.
Recently we were introduced to King Orchards based out of the great state of Michigan. The company started their business back in 1980 and have been growing fruit ever since. They specialize in Montmorency Tart Cherries and are a first-generation farming family.
How many of you are familiar with the health benefits of consuming Montmorency Tart Cherries? They are vast but a lot of people claim that consuming them helps to reduce pain, muscle cramping and inflammation. Hundreds of medical studies have published positive findings and the famous Dr. Oz. did a segment on the benefits of Montmorency Cherries and how they contain high amounts of antioxidants. You can watch his segment to learn more.
King Orchards sent hubby and I two of their most popular products to try out for all of you. We will talk about each one separately.
First up is the King Orchards Montmorency Tart Cherry Capsules which are a healthy whole fruit that is high in fiber, potassium and beta carotene. They are also a natural source of melatonin. Suggested Use: Take 1 to 2 capsules daily. Each capsule contains 435 mg. Montmorency Tart Cherry Powder.
If you want the health benefits of Montmorency Tart Cherries but want it in a convenient way, this is definitely the way-to-go. Since receiving them, I’ve been taking one per day and hubby has been taking 2 per day every morning at breakfast time. These capsules are very easy-to-swallow and there is no after-taste or upset-tummy with them at all. We’ve been taking them for 10 days now with no problems. I can personally tell you that I suffer with chronic pain and I have seen a little improvement with that in just 10 days. I am super excited to see even more results as I take them.
We also received a bottle of the King Orchards Montmorency Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate to try out for all of you too. This concentrated cherry juice is grown, harvested and bottled right here in the U.S.A. It is quality inspected and supervised by King Orchards to ensure quality! To Use: Mix 7 parts water to 1 part concentrate or 2 tablespoons to 7 ounces of water. It can also be added to orange juice, apple juice, lemonade or your favorite sports drink.
Hubby and I both started drinking this juice once a day as soon as it arrived. Personally, I love mixing 2 tablespoons of the cherry concentrate juice with 8 fl. oz. of Gingerale and with ice. Hubby likes drinking his just mixed with ice cold water. Both ways are perfectly fine and you can even drink it straight from the bottle (recommended that you only drink 1 oz. straight). This juice is absolutely delicious! We both love it and have been enjoying it with our breakfast in the morning or as a mid-morning pick-me-up beverage snack. We love tart cherry juice and frankly, this is the best that we’ve ever had!!!
Head on over to King Orchards and take a look around. They sell all kinds of fruit products like concentrated juices, dried fruit snacks, fruit supplements, jams, jellies, butters, pie fillings, salsa and more!

I LOVE cherries… Just love them. My favorite FRESH fruit is the black cherries. Fav pie is cherry! Oh nothing better than cherry turnovers! And when they began to have the cherry juice in the stores.. I love it! I admit I mix the tart cherry juice with another juice, for sweetness. Or, I put it into some carbonated water.. Heaven!
