Cherry Powder (525) 1 oz pack

Cherry Juice Powder is a rich source of natural ascorbic acid (vitamin C). This is the active component that makes it a cure accelerator and causes the reaction that converts nitrites (used in curing) to nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is the key ingredient that "cures" the meat, giving it its characteristic color and flavor.  Typically used in combination with VegStable Celery Juice Powder OR Sodium Nitrite Cure to achieve cure acceleration, to improve curing color, taste, and texture, and to reduce pathogen/microbial activity.
