Storage Guidelines

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

Black currants have the shortest storage life of the three fruits; cool them quickly and keep them refrigerated but never sprinkled or top-iced. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
