Organic Black Currant Juice Concentrate

Black currant juice concentrate is made from black currants, a small, dark purple berry native to Europe and Asia. The berries are pressed to extract their juice, which is then concentrated by removing water, resulting in a thicker, more intense liquid.

Manufacturers use black currant juice concentrate primarily as a natural source of color and flavor in foods. It imparts a deep purple-red hue and a tart, fruity taste. You can find it in products like yogurt, fruit snacks, and beverages.

Black currant juice concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamin C and antioxidants, which are beneficial compounds found in many fruits. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated black currant extracts, noting their antioxidant properties. While generally considered safe, excessive consumption of any concentrated fruit product could contribute to high sugar intake.
