Cultivation

Fresh consumption — redcurrant

Ribes rubrum L.

Utilizing redcurrants for fresh consumption requires harvesting in clusters to maintain marketability and selecting cultivars with superior dessert characteristics.

In the reference 79 varieties crop Redcurrant, where this is mentioned in the description.

For retail and fresh consumption, it is standard practice to harvest redcurrants in clusters, as the uniform ripening of berries within the cluster allows them to maintain their integrity and market appearance for longer. Unlike blackcurrants, redcurrants are valued for the absence of a sharp, pungent aroma and a different organic acid content.

Modern cultivars for the fresh market are characterized by a balanced sugar-to-acid ratio and increased berry size. The storage life of fresh produce in cold storage ranges from 3 to 7 days, provided they are stored in a single layer. Product quality is strictly regulated by standards concerning appearance and the absence of damage or impurities.
