About Currants, red and white, raw
Red and white currants are tiny, translucent berries that grow in glistening clusters like strings of jewels. Sharply tart with a bright, refreshing flavor, they are a fixture of northern European cooking — the white variety is simply a milder, slightly sweeter version of the red.
They are light at around 56 calories per 100 grams and notably rich in vitamin C, with a generous amount of fiber, plus vitamin K, potassium, iron and manganese. Their natural tartness comes alongside pectin, the setting agent that makes them ideal for preserves.
Their sourness means redcurrants are most often cooked with a little sugar — into the classic redcurrant jelly served with lamb and game, or into sauces, tarts and summer puddings. The fresh sprays also make a beautiful, sharp garnish, and a scattering raw adds a vivid tang to salads and desserts.
