Benefits of Organic Blackcurrant Powder

Blackcurrants are native to the more temperate areas of Northern Europe and Northern Asia. Written records of their use date back to the 1500s.

Blackcurrants have a strong flavor that many say is an acquired taste. Though they usually have a tart flavor, they become sweet when ripe. They’re also filled with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, all of which provide major health benefits.

Black currants are full of antioxidants, including anthocyanins. Anthocyanins give black currants their characteristic dark color and fight free radicals in the body, reducing oxidative stress and cell damage.
