Black Currants

Black Currants

EverydayFresh

Black currants are small, glossy berries from the Ribes genus, recognized for their intense tart-sweet flavor with earthy undertones. These nutrient-dense fruits contain four times the vitamin C of oranges and are exceptionally rich in anthocyanins, antioxidants linked to immune and cardiovascular benefits. While rarely eaten raw due to their sharp acidity, they are widely used in jams, syrups, and beverages, and were historically restricted in U.S. cultivation until 2003 due to disease concerns.
