Organic Currants

Currants are small, dried grapes, typically from the Black Corinth variety. They are grown in Mediterranean regions and are dried in the sun or by mechanical means. The drying process concentrates their natural sugars and flavors.

Currants are used as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer in baked goods, cereals, and trail mixes. Their intense, sweet-tart flavor adds complexity to dishes. They are also found in some savory applications for a touch of sweetness.

Currants are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of fiber and antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dried grapes, and their use in moderation is considered safe. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
