Currants (fresh)

Currants, in the dried fruit sense, are tiny, dark, dried grapes made from a seedless variety, distinct from fresh currants which are a type of berry. They are used in baking, particularly in fruit cakes, scones, and puddings, where their small size distributes evenly throughout a batter. They are more intensely flavoured and less sweet than raisins, to which they are often compared.

Measured fresh, before any drying, cooking, or other processing changes its water content and density.
