Background / Origin
Blackcurrants are native to Central and Northern Europe, as well as Northern Asia. These small, edible purple berries contain multiple seeds and are known for their rich nutritional profile.
One of the standout features of blackcurrants is their exceptionally high vitamin C content. They also provide good levels of potassium, phosphorus, iron, and vitamin B5, along with a broad range of other essential nutrients and antioxidants.
