Black Currant

Black currant (Ribes nigrum) is a shrub whose dark berries are used for juice and whose seeds give an oil containing gamma-linolenic acid.

Also listed as Blackcurrant, Black Currant Seed Oil, Cassis, European Black Currant

The whole fruit brings nutrients too

Norway’s food-composition table lists 159 mg vitamin C and 5 g fiber per 100 g raw blackcurrants. These are food-composition values, not a prescription for achieving the effects studied with extracts. 1
