Currants (Organic)

Great sweet snack, they have a sweet, tangy and intense flavour and add texture and sweetness to both sweet and savoury dishes.

What’s the difference?
Simply put all are dried grapes!
Currants are smaller and tangier compared to raisins and sultanas. They are made by drying a variety of small, seedless grapes called “Black Corinth” and “Carina.”
Raisins are dried white Moscatel grapes. When they are dried the result is a dark, dried fruit much like a currant, making it dense in texture and bursting with a sweet flavor.
Raisins can (unlike currants) soak up other flavors, which is why it is popular to soak raisins in flavored alcohols such as brandy or almond-flavored Amaretto before using in cooking. Raisins can hold all that flavor, making the finished dish even tastier.
Sultanas, also known as golden raisins or sultana raisins, are dried white grapes, but of the seedless variety. They are golden in color and tend to be much plumper, sweeter, and altogether juicier than other raisins. They can absorb other flavors, but not quite as well as regular raisins.
