General Info:
The Blackcurrant plant is a perennial, fruit-bearing shrub that can
grow **6 feet in height when fully mature. The round, edible
Blackcurrant berries range from half a centimeter to one centimeter
in diameter and are a deep, glossy purple *- so dark they appear
almost black!
The seeds of the Blackcurrant have a slight crunch and are highly
nutritious. They are used to produce Blackcurrant oil.
A very good source of vitamin C and manganese, Blackcurrant berries
are also a good source of iron and potassium, and contain magnesium
and phosphorus as well.
Blackcurrants also contain many polyphenol antioxidants like
anthocyanins, which are responsible for the rich color of the
berries and may have free-radical scavenging properties.
The seeds of the Blackcurrant are an especially important part of
this nutritious fruit, being rich in essential fatty acids
including gamma-linolenic acid *- a rare essential omega*6 fatty
acid which may be helpful in promoting cardiovascular health and
maintaining normal blood pressure levels.
