{"title":"Corinthian Currants","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Corinthian currant is one of Greece's oldest and most historically significant export products. Named after the port of Corinth through which they were traded for centuries, these small, seedless, intensely flavoured dried grapes (Vitis vinifera apyrena) were once the primary export of the Peloponnese and among the most traded food commodities in the Mediterranean world. In Victorian Britain, they arrived in their millions to fill Christmas puddings and mince pies — the word 'currant' itself derives from 'Corinth'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, Corinthian currants are less well-known outside of baking circles than they deserve to be. They are quite different from ordinary sultanas or raisins: smaller, darker, with a more concentrated flavour — deeply sweet with a wine-like tartness and a distinctive earthiness that ordinary raisins lack. In baking, they are unmatched: their small size means they distribute evenly through a mixture without sinking, and their intense flavour comes through even in highly spiced preparations like Christmas cake and mince pies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Greek cooking, they appear in rice stuffings for gemista, in the sweet-savoury ragus of Kefalonian meat pie (kreatopita), and in the classic Corfiot pastitsada sauce. In Cypriot baking, they are essential in Easter cookies (koulourakia) and sesame pastries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur Organic Corinthian Currants are grown in the Peloponnese using certified organic methods, sun-dried in the traditional style.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"infinity-foods-bulk-organic-currants","title":"Infinity Foods Bulk Organic Currants","description":"\u003ch4\u003eSweet organic currants, ideal for Easter and Christmas Baking\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot suitable for coeliacs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurrants are an ideal ingredient for home made muesli bars, porridge and cereals, cakes, cookies, hot cross buns, flapjacks and fruit breads.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA great addition with raisins and sultanas in your Christmas cakes, pudding, mince meat or Wedding Cakes...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eA good source of fibre\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eNo added sugar\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-packed in Sussex.
