UNDERSTANDING DRIED CURRANTS
Know the product.
Choose for your application.
Product & processing
Dried currants in this category are small dried grapes, principally Black Corinth, also called Zante currants. They are distinct from fresh blackcurrants or redcurrants of the Ribes family. Their small berry size and concentrated sweet-tart flavour are useful in ingredient blends.
Food industry applications
Use them in scones, breads, mince pies, biscuits, cereal blends and bars. They also suit chutneys and savoury grain dishes. Size and flow characteristics matter when the berries must distribute evenly through a recipe.
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Identity | Specify Black Corinth/Zante grape currants rather than Ribes berries. |
| Appearance | The guide describes seedless, dark purple-to-black berries around 4–6 mm. Confirm the offered calibration. |
| Drying | Sun-dried or mechanically dried; request moisture and texture requirements. |
| Surface coating | A light vegetable-oil coating may be used to reduce clumping. Confirm oil type and amount. |
| Packing | No fixed carton size is stated in the product guide; specify the required format in your enquiry. |
Formats and pack sizes are reference options, subject to supplier confirmation. Agree the specification, tolerances and documentation for the offered lot before purchase.
What should I specify for bakery currants?
Confirm grape type, berry size, moisture, any oil coating and acceptable stems or foreign material. Do not substitute a different small raisin solely because it is sold under a similar commercial name.
