In the past years one of the recurrent themes and talks has certainly being vitamins, but did you know that not many of us are aware of the health benefits of blackcurrants? There’s often mention of citrus & berries vitamins but blackcurrants are rarely mentioned as perhaps there has not been much research on the benefits of this amazing fruit.

Extensive research by CurraNZ has highlighted blackcurrants’ incredible polyphenol properties as well as their many health, wellness and physical performance benefits, including endurance, fat burning, recovery from exercise, immune health and cardio-metabolic function.

Blackcurrants aren’t just a fruit. They’re a powerhouse; a force to be reckoned with. For hundreds of years, blackcurrants have been renowned for their health-fortifying benefits. It’s only recently that these small, dark fruits have stolen the spotlight for their evidence-based, polyphenol-rich qualities. To be more precise, research shows that blackcurrants are a rich source of polyphenols, with a high concentration of antioxidant-packed flavonoids, specifically anthocyanins, when compared with other berries.

Research findings tells us that the most polyphenol-rich blackcurrants are cultivated in New Zealand, this is thanks to the weather growing conditions that assure that carry many times more anthocyanin when compared to non-New Zealand cultivars, with delphinidin and cyanidin forming the majority of anthocyanins present.

How can these little berries help with our health?
