Blackcurrants

Blackcurrants, like blueberries, are one of the healthiest fruits, and a rich source of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They are especially rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, also contain B vitamins , and minerals such as iron, potassium and magnesium. Blackcurrants are also high in flavonoids, helping to protect against heart disease and cancer.

The freezing process involves rapidly cooling the fresh blackcurrants after harvesting, then packaging and storing them at temperatures below -18°C. Frozen blackcurrants retain their flavour and nutritional value just like fresh ones, making them a good choice for people who want to enjoy the health benefits of this fruit all year round.

Frozen blackcurrants can be used to prepare a wide variety of dishes and desserts such as jams, compotes, ice creams, cakes or smoothies. They are also a popular ingredient in dietary supplements, due to their high antioxidant and vitamin content.

As with frozen blueberries, blackcurrants are delicate and can lose flavour and nutritional value during prolonged freezing. For this reason, when choosing frozen blackcurrants, it is important to pay attention to the expiry date and the freezing method.
