56 kcal per 100 g
What kind of food is this?
A tart berry. Per 100g it has 1mg iron, 33mg calcium, and 4.3g fiber.
Iron is involved in how red blood cells carry oxygen; calcium is a mineral involved in bones, muscles, and nerve function.
When you want minerals and fiber from fruit, this berry can play a slightly different role than the sweet ones.
How to serve
The baking ingredients sold as "currants" or "dried currants" are small dried grapes — a different thing entirely. Do not judge by the name alone; check the ingredient list.
