Blackcurrants

Vitamin Powerhouse

Blackcurrants are high in antioxidants and Vitamin C, and also anthocyanins which can help strengthen your immune system. Manganese is an essential mineral also found in the humble blackcurrant. Blackcurrants carry four times the amount of Vitamin C as oranges, and double the amount of antioxidants found in blueberries.

Family Favourite Recipe

• Blackcurrant and rhubarb crumble

• Blackcurrant and apple crumble

Blackcurrants freeze well, and during winter we pull out our frozen blackcurrants and either frozen rhubarb pieces or frozen stewed apples, and make a crumble; which is quick, easy and delicious (tastes decadent but so healthy).

Blackcurrant cordial/syrup is another family favourite.
