Organic Black Currant Juice From Concentrate

Organic black currant juice from concentrate is made from black currants, a small, dark berry. The juice is extracted from the berries, then concentrated by removing water. It is often reconstituted with water before use.

Manufacturers use this ingredient primarily for its natural fruit flavor and color. It adds a tart, berry taste and a deep purple hue to products. It is commonly found in candies, juices, nectars, fruit drinks, and sodas.

Black currant juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamin C and anthocyanins, which are antioxidants. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated black currant extracts, and research suggests potential benefits from its antioxidant content, though more studies are needed to confirm specific health effects at typical dietary intake levels.
