Everything about Zante Currant totally explained
The
Zante currant (
Vitis vinifera) or currant is a variety of
small,
sweet, seedless
grape named after
Corinth (currant) and the
Ionian island of
Zakynthos (Zante) and not to be confused with the
Ribes berries "currants" (eg
blackcurrant,
redcurrant), which are in a different family altogether. Their name apparently comes from
Old French "raisins de Corauntz"; "Zante" was recently prepended to the name to distinguish them from the
ribes berries "currants".
Zante currants are very small and intensely flavoured. They are not usually eaten raw, instead used for making
raisins and occasionally
wine. When dried, they're often referred to as
dried currants or just "currants" and in this form are used in cooking, especially baking and are a major ingredient in
currant slice and
currant cake.
In the
United Kingdom they're often used in
scones, currant
buns,
Christmas cake,
Christmas pudding and
mincemeat. They are sometimes sold mixed with
raisins and
sultanas as "mixed dried
fruit".
