Description

Currants are a type of raisin, but they are made from a special variety of grapes.
Specifically, currants are made from the small grape varieties where raisins are made from larger varieties of grapes.
Currants have a similar look and taste to raisins as well, dark and a bit wrinkly, but they just taste a bit more tart than raisins do.
They soften are considered the “fancier” version of the grape.
Currants are an excellent source of antioxidants, potassium and fiber.
