Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for red currants. Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Red currants are relatively perishable: cool them quickly, keep them refrigerated but never sprinkled or top-iced, and watch for gray mold, which spreads rapidly when they warm up. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
