Currants
"Discover the Burst of Flavor"
“Currants are a delightful addition to our U-pick farm! We offer three varieties: Red, Black, and White currants. These tiny, jewel-like berries are not only a treat for your taste buds but also packed with nutrition.”
A Symphony of Flavors for Every Palate!
Currants are a nutritional powerhouse! They are rich in vitamin C, providing more than oranges. These berries are also a good source of antioxidants, fiber, and essential minerals. Incorporating currants into your diet can boost your immune system and promote overall health.
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. Red currants tend to be the tartest, while black currants offer a more complex, intense flavor. White currants are the sweetest of the bunch. Their unique taste makes them versatile for various culinary uses, from jams and desserts to salads and sauces.
