What it is

Organic blackcurrant concentrate is a liquid made from pressing blackcurrants, a small, dark purple berry. The juice is then concentrated by removing water, intensifying its flavor and color. It is used as a natural ingredient in various food products.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add organic blackcurrant concentrate primarily for its intense fruit flavor and natural deep purple color. It is commonly found in beverages like teas and kombucha, as well as in candies and frozen desserts such as ice cream.

Health notes

Organic blackcurrant concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of anthocyanins, which are antioxidants found in dark berries. JECFA has evaluated blackcurrant juice and its concentrates, and EFSA has evaluated anthocyanins. Typical consumption levels in foods are not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Blackcurrants are not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA, nor do they contain gluten. Not a major allergen.
