Dried Currants

Dried Currants 2.5kg is a generous pack of small, dark dried fruits that bring natural sweetness and rich flavour to a wide range of baking and cooking. These tiny gems are prized in classic British baking for their intense berry taste and soft, chewy texture that works beautifully in scones, fruit loaves, traybakes and Christmas cakes. Currants are the seedless dried form of small black grapes, offering concentrated flavour without added sugar. The large 2.5kg size makes this ideal for bakeries, home cooks who bake regularly, and professional kitchens where currants form a staple ingredient in batter, doughs and sweet pastries.

Key Features:

  • 2.5 kilogram bulk pack suited to bakeries, home baking and high-volume use.
  • Naturally sweet dried fruit with a dense, chewy texture.
  • No seeds and no added sugars, letting true berry flavour come through.
  • Perfect for a wide range of sweet baking and dessert applications.

Recipe Inspiration:

  • Classic currant scones with golden tops served warm from the oven.
  • Traditional fruit loaf packed with spices, currants and citrus zest.
  • Sticky toffee pudding with currants folded into the rich date batter.
  • Festive Christmas cake layered with marzipan and royal icing, studded with currants throughout.

How should dried currants be stored to keep them fresh?

Keep them in an airtight container in a cool dry place; for longer storage you can refrigerate them to preserve texture and flavour.

Can I use dried currants instead of raisins in recipes?

Yes, currants have a slightly more tart berry flavour and smaller size, but can be swapped with raisins in many recipes for a different taste and texture.

Why would chefs soak currants before baking?

Soaking in warm water, juice or liqueur helps plump the fruit and distribute moisture more evenly in batters and doughs, keeping finished bakes tender.
