What You Should Know

Lakewood Organic Pure Tart Cherry is presented as a straightforward, single-ingredient juice in a 32 fl oz glass bottle that reads like a short story: pressed from 3 lbs. of organic tart cherries, pasteurized, and certified USDA Organic by QCS. In the grocery store you’d typically find it in the refrigerated natural and organic juice aisle (or the cold-press/specialty juice shelf), shelved near other organic juices, kombuchas, and refrigerated nut milks — often close to the produce department where shoppers look for clean-label beverage options. This bottle fits weekend brunch carts, post-workout shopping lists, and pantry-top ups for people who value natural remedies and functional drinks. Lakewood’s branding leans on heritage (“Nourishing since 1935”), clean-living language (“USDA Organic,” “Non-GMO,” “100% vegan,” “no preservatives”), and transparent ingredient storytelling (“What’s in the bottle: 3 lbs. organic tart cherries”), so it appeals to health-focused, eco-aware shoppers who prefer minimally fussed foods. The label carries typical health halos — organic certification, gluten-free and allergen-free claims — and a no-additives aesthetic rather than kid-targeted graphics. In processing context, the juice is simply pressed and pasteurized, bottled in glass and marketed as unsweetened (containing naturally occurring fruit sugars). Sensory notes: a deep ruby-red liquid with a bright, tart-sweet aroma, medium viscosity and a puckering finish; best served chilled, sipped from a glass, mixed into smoothies, poured over yogurt, or used as a cocktail or recovery tonic. The glass bottle and “recyclable” messaging complete a ritual of mindful consumption favoured by boutique grocery shoppers.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

It's high in natural sugars, so if you're watching your sugar intake, you might want to enjoy it in moderation. Think of it as a tasty treat rather than a health food staple.
