Zante Currants are tiny, dried grapes of the Corinth variety. Because of their small size, they’ve got an intense, tangy, and sweet flavor and can add sweetness and texture to both savory and sweet dishes.
The tartness and juiciness of Zante currants become even more vibrant when paired with other dried fruits and seeds. They're an excellent compliment to savory and sweet dishes or you can substitute raisins, cranberries, and dates with these. Zante currants may be smaller than classic raisins, but they're rich in vitamins C & A, iron, antioxidants and fiber.

I first ordered this product on Amazon. I was not sure what I would be getting, but I needed currans for a carrot cake recipe that I was making. I received the product quickly and the currents were delicious. They were the perfect size for my bite sized creations. I also used them later for my oatmeal raisin cookies, which turned out superb. I got many raves for both deserts. My nephew who hates raisin cookies could not get enough. He told me that he does not like raisins but these ones were so sweet and plump and made the cookies really stand out. I did soak them in water to plump them up, before using them in my recipes. I have an obsession with tiny bite sized desserts and the currents are the best sized raisins to use in order to get whole raisins into each bite. I would definitely recommend this product, in fact I reordered this again to make more cookies and desserts for Christmas. Good thing I had the bad to see which brand I used last time. Thanks for a superior product and fast delivery.
