The first arrivals of red currants from Chile hit stores under the Sun Belle label in mid-December and will be available through mid-February.
Ken Hopps, Sun Belle director of business development, recently visited its partner farms in the central Chilean region of Maule and reports a “strong program on board.”

Tart, with a hint of sweetness, red currants grow in bright shiny clusters, making them especially appealing for recipes and garnishes. These pearl-shaped, juicy berries are perfect on cheese and grazing boards, with game and poultry, and in salads, jellies, baked goods, desserts, and beverages.
“We love to bring red currants to our customers,” said Sun Belle CEO Janice Honigberg. “Their beautiful bright color adds a bright spot in winter. They are also wonderful leading up to Valentine’s Day.”
