Currants-Black
(Ribes nigrum) Black currants are credited with outstanding health benefits, including high Vitamin C content, up to 5 times that of oranges by weight. They have twice the potassium of bananas and twice the antioxidants of blueberries. The antioxidants, essential fatty acids and potassium in black currants have anti-inflammatory impact, reducing the effects of arthritis, and anti-oxidant action, shown to help prevent cancer. The strong flavor of Black Currants is highly prized in Europe, even fresh, but most Americans prefer them made into jam, syrup or dried as raisins. Prohibited to DEL, ME, MASS, NC, NH, NJ, RI, WV.!!!* MI needs permit contact Mike Bryan, MI Dep't of Ag, 517-373-1087
