What it is

Organic red currants are small, tart, red berries that grow on shrubs in temperate climates. They are typically harvested in the summer and can be used fresh or processed into jams, jellies, and juices. The berries are known for their bright color and sharp flavor.

Why it's used

Red currants are often used to add a tart flavor and vibrant color to food products. They are most commonly found in jams, jellies, and fruit spreads, where their pectin content helps with gelling. They can also be used in sauces, baked goods, and beverages.

Health notes

Red currants are a natural food ingredient and do not have a specific regulatory status like food additives. They are a source of vitamin C and dietary fiber. The World Health Organization (WHO) and other international bodies have not set specific intake limits for red currants as they are considered a whole food. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming red currants in typical dietary amounts.

Allergen info

Red currants are not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
