The present work shows a facile route for the preparation of graphene layers and for the first time Zante currants extract used for the effective deoxygenation of graphene oxide has been reported. Zante currants (ZC) extract reduce effectively GO into few layered structures of graphene (FLG). The morphology of few layers graphene and graphene oxide (GO) were investigated by SEM and TEM. Reduction effect on graphene oxide  confirm by other technique like Raman, FTIR, XRD and UV spectrophotometry. This procedure keep away the use of hazardous chemicals, thus providing a new hope for large scale production of chemically reduced graphene.
