Redcurrant
Redcurrant is a deciduous shrub normally growing to 1–1.5 metres tall. In midsummer maturing into bright red translucent berries about 8–12 mm diameter, with 3–10 berries on each raceme. With maturity, the tart flavour of redcurrant fruit is slightly greater than its blackcurrant relative, but with the same approximate sweetness.

Depending of the harvest season and availability redcurrants are from neighboring countries or Finnish origin. Berries are also available in organic quality depending on the product range.
