Red Currants

Red Currants

EverydayFresh

Red currants are bright, translucent berries that grow in grape-like clusters on woody shrubs native to Europe. These tart, jewel-like fruits are rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and dietary fiber, while being naturally low in calories. Their distinctive bright acidity makes them particularly valued in European cuisine for jams, jellies, and garnishes, though they can also be enjoyed fresh during their summer season.
