What Makes Blackcurrants So Nutritious?

• The blackcurrant plant, native to central and northern Europe and northern Asia, is a bonanza of antioxidant nutrition.
• The blackcurrant’s powerful health benefit is due to its high level of anthocyanins, which are beneficial plant antioxidants.
• Antioxidants are thought to help protect the body against the damaging effects of free radicals and the chronic diseases associated with the aging process.
• High levels of anthocyanins and other phenolic acids provide a greater total antioxidant activity in blackcurrant than in other fruits.
• Even when compared to blueberries, blackcurrants contain up to 3 times more anthocyanins!
• Official data from the USDA suggest that, in comparison to other fruits, blackcurrants contain up to:
• 14 times as much Vitamin C
• 9 times as much Calcium
• 8 times as much Iron
• 5 times as much Magnesium
• 3 times as much Potassium
• 2 times as much Zinc
• Blackcurrant berries also contain more Vitamin A, folic acid, and boron than most other fruits, and are low in calories and sodium.
