Red currants are small, bright red berries that grow in clusters on shrubs native to Europe and parts of Asia. With their tart flavor and refreshing acidity, they are often used in jams, jellies, desserts, and sauces, particularly in European cuisine. Packed with nutrients, red currants are a rich source of vitamin C, which supports immune health, and contain fiber for improved digestion. They also provide antioxidants like flavonoids, which may help combat oxidative stress and promote heart health. Low in calories and fat, red currants make a healthy addition to diets focused on weight management. However, their tartness may require added sugar in recipes, which could negate some health benefits depending on preparation methods. Enjoy them fresh, dried, or cooked to harness their vibrant flavor and nutritional value!
