Zante currants are tiny, seedless dried grapes native to Greece, known for their punchy, tangy-sweet flavour and pleasantly chewy texture. They’re smaller and more intense than raisins, which means they blend beautifully into doughs, batters and fillings without turning your bakes into lumpy chaos. These currants are naturally sun-dried, then lightly coated with a touch of sunflower oil to keep them from sticking together.
A longtime favourite in European baking, they add depth, brightness and little pops of flavour that make both sweet and savoury recipes taste more alive.
