Organic Dried Currants

Dried currants are small, seedless grapes, typically of the Black Corinth variety. They are dried, which concentrates their natural sugars and deepens their flavor. The drying process is usually done naturally in the sun or in dehydrators.

Currants are used as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer in baked goods like muffins, scones, and cookies. They also add texture and a slightly tart-sweet taste to cereals, granola, and trail mixes. Their concentrated flavor makes them a popular addition to confectionery products.

Currants are a natural food product and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a source of fiber and antioxidants. JECFA has evaluated dried grapes, including currants, and established a group ADI. No specific regulatory concerns are associated with typical consumption of dried currants.
