What it is

Currants are small, dried grapes, typically from varieties like Black Corinth. They are produced by sun-drying or dehydrating the grapes, resulting in a concentrated, sweet-tart flavor and chewy texture.

Why it's used

Currants are often used to add a burst of flavor and texture to baked goods, cereals, and snack mixes. Their intense sweetness and slight tartness make them a popular addition to fruitcakes, muffins, and energy bars.

Health notes

Currants are a natural food ingredient and are generally recognized as safe by the FDA. They are a source of fiber and antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dried fruits, and while they have established guidelines for quality, specific health evaluations for currants are not widely publicized.

Allergen info

Currants are not a major allergen and do not contain gluten.
