Description

Currant juice is the liquid extracted from currants, small berries that can be red, black, or white, known for their tart and refreshing flavor. This juice is commonly used in cooking to add a citrusy and slightly astringent touch to various recipes, from desserts to dressings and beverages.

Origin: The currant is native to Europe and some regions of Asia, but its cultivation has spread to Latin American countries. Black currants, in particular, are prized for their high juice content and intense flavor.

Properties: Currant juice is rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and minerals, making it a nutritious ingredient that also helps strengthen the immune system. Its natural acidity also makes it ideal for balancing flavors in culinary preparations.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: in some regions, currant juice may be known simply as cassis juice (especially when referring to black currant), although it is not a very common term. Also, in some areas, it may be called black currant juice to differentiate it from other berries. In general, the term currant juice is widely understood and used.
