Description
Premium Black berries are a delicious addition to any diet.
Premium Black berries contain a high level of vitamin C. One serving of 100 grams (g) contains 35 percent of an individual's recommended daily allowance (RDA) of vitamin C.
Humans are unable to synthesize their own vitamin C, so it is essential to include it as part of a healthy diet.
Vitamin C is involved in protein synthesis and is necessary for the body to produce collagen and certain neurotransmitters. These processes are vital for many bodily functions, including wound healing.
Gooseberry is a white, yellow, red or green berry according to the species, with a thorny, hairy or even skin. The different varieties are distinguished from each other by the time of maturation, taste, color, size, shape of the fruit and the way in which it is consumed. The most outstanding is the yellowish fruit with hairy skin, although there are also varieties of reddish, pale whitish green and dark green skin.
Its strange taste is never sweet enough to enable the consumer to eat it raw, so it is normally used it in the processing of different by-products. Nevertheless, some varieties like Early Sulphur are consumed raw. Other varieties are more suitable to be cooked, like Careless, Leveller, Whinham"s Industry and Howard"s Lancer, and the rest are intended for processing jam and preserves, like Keepsake and Lancashire Lad.
Apart from this species of currant there are other species like red currant and blackcurrant. Gooseberries grow solitary, not in clusters, in Europe and America. It does not grow in clusters and it is larger than red currant. This fruit is used to make cakes, sherbets, jelly and syrup. It is an ingredient for puddings, fruit salads and chutneys. To make gooseberry jam it is recommended to harvest the berries when they are still pale green, since their pectin content diminishes soon after they have reached the maturation point. The skin of ripe gooseberries is hard and it looses its colour with the heat treatment.
