What it is

Black currant powder is made from dried black currants, a small, dark purple berry native to Europe and Asia. The berries are typically dried and then ground into a fine powder. This process concentrates their flavor and color.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use black currant powder primarily for its intense fruity flavor and natural deep purple color. It is often added to candies, powdered drink mixes, and ready-to-drink beverages to enhance their taste and visual appeal.

Health notes

Black currant powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamin C and antioxidants. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated black currant extracts, but no specific health claims are associated with the powder at typical consumption levels. Evidence regarding specific health benefits is still being researched.

Allergen info

Black currant powder is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
