These small, shiny berries are called red currants, gooseberries, or bunch berries. Red currants have a distinctive sour taste, which adds a refreshing touch to desserts. Think of a delicious mascarpone cake with red currants! They are often also used as a garnish for an elegant finish.
Wash red currants only just before use to keep them fresh for longer.
Life hack: use the tines of a fork to easily remove red currants from the stems without damaging them.
If you're not a big fan of sour, you'll probably enjoy red currants combined with something like honey or sugar.
The red currants from BelOrta are grown both in open fields and in greenhouses. With open field cultivation, the berries grow outdoors, while greenhouse cultivation protects them from the weather. Both growing methods result in juicy and flavorful berries that are perfect for a variety of dishes.
