What it is

Blackcurrant juice comes from the dark purple berries of the Ribes nigrum shrub, native to Europe and Asia. The berries are typically pressed to extract their juice, which is then often filtered and sometimes concentrated.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use blackcurrant juice primarily as a natural source of deep purple color and a tart, fruity flavor. It is commonly found in candies, jams, jellies, fruit spreads, and beverages like juices and nectars.

Health notes

Blackcurrant juice is recognized by the FDA as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for use in food. It is a source of vitamin C and anthocyanins, which are antioxidants. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated blackcurrants and their components, noting their nutritional value. Research is ongoing into the potential health benefits of compounds found in blackcurrants, such as their effects on inflammation and eye health, but typical dietary intake is not associated with adverse effects.

Allergen info

Blackcurrant juice is not derived from any of the 9 major FDA allergens and does not contain gluten.
