The Zante currant is a small, seedless dried fruit made from the Black Corinth grape. It is known for its sweet flavor and dark color, making it a popular ingredient in baked goods, salads, and trail mixes. Zante currants are often used as a substitute for raisins due to their similar size and taste.
These currants are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, providing health benefits such as improved digestion and heart health. They are commonly found in Mediterranean cuisine and are sometimes referred to as currants, although they are distinct from true currants, which are a different type of berry.
