California Zante Currant Raisins
About the Product:
Product Description:
These tiny Zante Currants, which are in fact, desiccated grapes, originally come from Greece and were imported into the US around 1900s. Food to Live Zante Raisins are grown and sun-dried in California, and are 100% pure, containing no additives (no oils and no sugars). They have a distinct tangy-sweet flavor which will complement almost any dish.
Zante Currant Raisins differ from Sultana, and Thompson varieties as they are made from Black Corinth grape cultivar and are way smaller in size. This type is also considered to be the richest in antioxidants. Moreover, our California Zante Currant Raisins are seedless.
Dried Zante Currant Raisins have versatile uses. For example, you can eat them as a nutritious snack or add them to trail mixes. Bakers love to include this ingredient in bread, muffins, scones, and buns recipes since it acts as a natural sweetener. Besides, Dried Zante Currants is a perfect addition to your morning oatmeal or muesli. Sometimes chefs use them in sauces for a more exquisite flavor. However, if you are planning to stock up, please, bear in mind that Food to Live Zante Raisins do not contain any preservatives, so they can go bad if stored improperly. Keep them in an airtight container (glass is preferable) in a cool dry place.
