Blackcurrant is a berry of translucent pulp with red or green tones and bittersweet taste. The fruit is small, of black-blue color and spherical shape, with an intense taste when completely ripe. This berry is covered with hair and its pulp contains multiple small seeds. These fruits are not loose; they grow in clusters.
The Blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum, belonging to the botanical family of Saxigfragaceae) is the shrub where currants grow.
In English its name means â??berry of gooseâ?? because long ago it was the main ingredient of a sauce that went together with goose dishes. Blackcurrant is used to make liquors, wine, juice and jelly.
Blackcurrants are extremely rich in sugars, organic acids and vitamin C. The quantity of vitamin C in 250 ml of currants is three times superior to that contained in a small orange. Blackcurrants are excellent laxatives.
They must be consumed in a short time, otherwise, they will spoil. In the fridge, at 4ºC of temperature, they last for one week.
The output is used in the food industry that uses Blackcurrants for processing syrups, jelly and refreshing drinks. A characteristic liquor is made by means of macerating them in brandy and adding syrup. They are also used in chemists to improve flavors and as a source of food coloring.
Our Blackcurrants are sourced from growers in China, Japan, Poland, UK and Ukraine.
