About Red currants

Red currants are vibrant, glossy berries native to Europe and parts of Asia, often used in traditional European cuisines. Known for their tangy and slightly tart flavor, they are a popular ingredient in jams, jellies, sauces, and desserts. Rich in essential nutrients, red currants are an excellent source of vitamin C, supporting immune health, and vitamin K, which aids in blood clotting and bone health. They also contain dietary fiber to promote digestion and manganese for metabolic support. Packed with antioxidants such as flavonoids and polyphenols, red currants may help combat oxidative stress and inflammation. These berries are naturally low in calories, making them a healthy addition to many dishes. However, their tartness means they’re often sweetened with sugar in recipes, which can increase calorie and sugar content. Enjoy them fresh, dried, or cooked to add a nutrient-rich burst of flavor to your meals.
