Harvest Season
“
At Dee’s Nutz and Berries, currants are ripe for picking during the summer months. Typically, you can start harvesting red currants in late June, followed by black and white currants in July. It’s the perfect opportunity for a family outing to enjoy the sunshine and fresh berries.
The taste of currants is a delightful balance of sweet and tart. Black currants offer a more complex, intense flavor. Black currants contain anthocyanins, which help combat oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, and protect against chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer. The anthocyanins in black currants have been linked to improved vision, especially in low-light conditions, and may help prevent eye disorders like macular degeneration.”
