About Black currants

Black currants, native to Europe and northern Asia, are small, dark purple berries renowned for their tart flavor and impressive nutritional benefits. Rich in vitamin C, they provide over 200% of the recommended daily intake in a single serving, supporting immune health and skin vitality. These berries also boast high levels of antioxidants, including anthocyanins, which combat oxidative stress and promote cardiovascular health. Black currants contain dietary fiber, aiding digestion and contributing to feelings of fullness. Additionally, they are a source of potassium, vital for maintaining healthy blood pressure. Often used in jams, syrups, and juices, black currants feature prominently in European cuisines and desserts. While packed with nutrients, their tartness is sometimes balanced with added sugars in processed forms, which can reduce their health benefits. Enjoy them fresh, dried, or minimally processed for maximum nutritional value.
