About currants
Currants are a small dried grape traditionally used in baking and cooking. Unlike fresh currants, dried currants are made from specific small grape varieties grown for drying. Their smaller size and concentrated sweetness make them particularly suited to fruit loaves, cakes and biscuit baking.
These currants are produced in a more traditional natural style, resulting in a fruit that is less soft and uniform than many commercially processed dried fruits. No oils are added during processing, allowing the fruit to retain more of the character typical of naturally dried vine fruit.
