Everything at a glance Freeze-dried red currant
A berry with many names: cassis, ribes, gooseberry, or simply currant, red currant reminds some of us of our childhood summers, when we would collect handfuls of it from wild plants, gladly filling our mouth with its peculiar sweet and sour taste, and thus fighting the heat. If you miss this feeling of summer and freedom, you are going to love our freeze-dried red currant, which you can now enjoy all year long! Moreover, thanks to the freeze-drying process, the taste of our berries is way more concentrated than that of their fresh counterparts – and their texture crunchier!
Freeze-dried red currant remains rich in vitamin C
Red currant is native of central Europe, where it grows very easily, and is packed with vitamins and nutrients. In terms of nutrient density, this tiny berry is in no way inferior to the popular superfoods acai and goji berries: the red currant bristles with vitamin C, which does not get lost in the process of freeze-drying. Our red currant is therefore a great and healthy alternative to chips. Snacking has never felt so good!
Very versitile in the kitchen
The gentle sourness of the currant is what makes it so unmistakably delicious, and it can transform a white yoghurt into an incredible sensory experience. You can also use red ribes to top up your smoothie bowl with taste and colour, or to bake fruity muffins and cakes – they can be also a great addition to savoury dishes, like a fresh and crunchy couscous salad.
What makes our freeze-dried red currant so special
Our red currant is harvested when ripe, which is why its taste is so strong, and then gently freeze-dried, so that almost all its vitamins and nutrients are left intact. We add no sugar nor preservatives to our ribes, as we want to bring to your door the ultimate, unadulterated berry experience. Albeit free from preservatives, these dried red berries do keep for very long; enjoy their summery, biting taste even in the middle of the winter! Last but not least: if you want a double dose of vitamine C, at KoRo you can find black currant as well.

What is the KoRo price chart?
In this chart, you can see the price per base unit (mainly 100g). In addition, you will learn the reason for a price reduction or increase by clicking on the information circles. -
Why is the price fluctuating?
Most annual product crops have an impact on the relationship between supply and demand in the market. In the event of a bad harvest, we must also pay a higher price for raw materials. Due to the strong impact of external factors such as wind, weather, climate and natural events on the harvest, we are refusing long-term cross-harvest contracts with our producers. -
Why are we communicating price changes at KoRo?
Open communication is very important to us and therefore part of our vision. For this reason, we would like to keep you informed of the evolution of our prices. Thus, the KoRo price chart provides a transparent overview of the evolution of the products prices over time.
Freeze-dried red currant - Ein Blick hinter die Kulissen
In Deutschland und bei unseren europäischen Nachbarländern heimisch
Johannisbeeren schätzen das gemäßigte Klima in unseren Nachbarländern und hierzulande. Kein Wunder, dass in Europa über 95 % des weltweiten Johannisbeeren-Ertrages geerntet wird. Dabei zählen Polen, Ungarn und Litauen zu den größten Anbaugebieten, aus denen wir auch unsere Beeren beziehen.
Rote Johannisbeeren schießen schnell in die Höhe
Die Sträucher der Johannisbeeren wachsen schon kurz nach Aussaat in die Höhe. Anfang April bekommen die Gewächse dann grüne Blüten, die traubenförmig an den Zweigen hängen.
Wild wachsende Sträucher
Die Sträucher erreichen im ausgewachsenen Zustand Höhen von bis zu 1,5 Metern. Mit ihren teils dickeren Ästen und wildwuchernden Blättern wirken einige Sträucher so schon fast wie Johannisbeeren-Bäume.
Reif geerntet
In den Sommermonaten ist Erntesaison für die Johannisbeeren angesagt. Während die Ernte der roten Johannisbeeren oft schon Ende Juni beginnt, sind die schwarzen Sorten meist erst gegen August reif. Je länger die Johannisbeeren am Strauch hängen, desto süßer schmecken sie.
Gewaschen und sortiert
Anschließend werden die roten Johannisbeeren gründlich geputzt und händisch sortiert, so dass wir Dir zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt Früchte von bester Qualität liefern können.
Schonende Gefriertrocknung
Erst in die Schockfrostung, dann in die Vakuumkammer: Klingt zwar nicht nach schonender Trocknung, ist es aber. Bei der Gefriertrocknung bleiben beinahe alle Nährstoffe der Johannisbeeren erhalten. Und die Früchte selbst werden unfassbar crunchy und noch geschmacksintensiver. Wenn das mal keine Win-Win Situation ist!
Abgepackt in Großpackungen
Nach der Gefriertrocknung werden die roten Johannisbeeren pfundweise in große Packungen abgefüllt und in unser Berliner Lager gebracht. Dort warten die Früchtchen auf Deine Bestellung.
Questions about questions Freeze-dried red currant
What is freeze-drying, and why do you use this process?
The delicate freeze-drying process uses the principle of sublimation to remove water from foods. Our fruits are frozen and successively placed in a vacuum room, where the water, due to the pressure, changes its state from ice directly into steam. Thus, our red berries get their crunchy texture, keep their nutrients intact, and have their taste enhanced!
How should I store the red currant to make it last longer?
Of course you want to know how to take care of your freeze-dried red currant, before buying half a kilo of it! Properly stored - which means well closed, and away from heat and direct light - our red currant keeps for up to one and a half years. You can use our airtight mason jars to store them not only efficiently but also prettily.
How many calories does red currant have?
100 g of our freeze-dried red currant have about 254 calories and 30 g of carbohydrates. All nutritional values are printed on the packaging.
How many types of currant there are, and how do they differ from one another?
When you think of currant, you probably picture black and red small berries that grow on wild bushes. But there is another, more uncommon type of currant - the white one! This leads to some crossbreeds like the pink and golden-coloured ribes, which are however pretty rare. Independently from their colour, currant types have a very similar, sweet-and-sour taste: red currant is generally slightly sweeter, while white currant can have a delicate wine-y aftertaste.
