BLACK CURRANT

Hi there!  I’m the Eurasian glossy skinned Black Currant, overflowing with Vitamin C.  When there was a tremendous shortage of Vitamin C rich fruits, such as oranges, in the United Kingdom during World War II, I became really popular.  Truth be told, my very sharp and sweet taste has always ensured that I have a great following, especially by jams, jellies, desserts, sauces, ice cream, and even Guinness beer! I’m very well suited to the undercover sweet toothed population.
