Amrita Zante Currants 1 lb, No Added Sugar Dried Black Currants, Non-GMO

Really good, great taste and not too dry or hard. Should work fine for any recipe that calls for dried currants.

I couldn't believe how fresh these currants were! And taste great too! They made awesome butter tarts, yum...

I use them in a cookie recipe or hot cereal. I love that they're gluten free. I like that they are much smaller than raisins. Very tasty.

I needed zante currents for my Ruggelach recipe that make for family and friends (they request it) every New Year’s. I was in a bind because I couldn’t find them locally anywhere. I guess everybody’s using these little tiny nuggets in their baked goods this season. So I took a chance in ordered the Amrita Sante currents from Amazon and I’m so glad that I did. They were well worth the price. They’re sweet and so fresh and made my already amazing ruggelach even more amazing. These Zante currents are so fresh and so sweet. I didn’t know what to expect. I thought I was gonna get the same things that I usually get at the supermarket. I didn’t know such Yummies on currents existed! They were really that good. Thank you for providing a product that made my recipe taste even better than it already did. I highly recommend investing in these, they’ll take your recipe up a whole bunch of notches.

Good currants are hard to find, especially at a good price. "No added sugar" is really hard to find in dried fruits.

I am at fault for not reading more, but the product maker is at fault for tricky advertising or product naming. This is NOT Black currant. It is JUST Zante currants. Taste and health benefits are completely different to one another. Per Dr Axe, “Are red currants and black currants the same? No; common Zante currants are not related to black currants, which are members of the Ribes family of flowering shrubs. Zante currants are more easy to find in stores than black currants. Black currants are a bit smaller, sour, and are exceptionally high in antioxidants such as anthocyanins and phenolic acids, according to studies. Black currant is also a plant that is used to make a therapeutic oil, derived from the leaves, fruit and flowers of the plant. According to studies, black currant seed oil is used for treating conditions like: high cholesterol and blood pressure, digestive issues, pain, arthritis, infections, and menopause and PMS symptoms.”

I liked the moistness, flavor, quantity, and price of this snack food. However, I don’t like that the seeds were not removed. I will probably not buy this again for that reason.

Tasty. Plump. Dried but taste very fresh. My only issue was my own fault in that I didn’t look at the size! 4lbs is a LOT of currants. Lots of bread, scones, rice pudding in this house lately!
