Blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) Blackcurrants are like snowflakes on a sunny morning. They remind us of winter in summer, and of summer in winter. They are like an impossible friendship between summer and winter, each giving the other what it lacks. Bursting on the tongue, the blackcurrant is pleasantly refreshing, while its juice, syrup or juice drink, added to tea, treats colds and increase’s the body’s resistance to illness. Blackcurrants contain substances that have a positive effect on nerve cell health and delay aging. Each berry, glass of blackcurrant drink or juice will help us feel younger for longer, giving us the strength to enjoy the festive feeling of winter evenings and long for them on hot summer days.
