Currants: health benefits and ingredients currant
-
The currant or cluster berry is a berry that comes from a deciduous shrub, normally 1 to 1.5 meters high, sometimes even 2 meters. There are black, red and white currants. The cultivation of red currants started in the 15th century in monastery gardens. The refreshing berries grow in clusters on a small shrub from the Saxifragaceae family, a family of dicotyledons. They are available in three colors: berries of the genus Ribes rubrum turn bright red or white, and those of the genus Ribes nigrum black. They differ considerably in taste: with the red currant, the sour note predominates, the white has a milder taste and the black is more herbaceous aromatic. The reds are best known and have a fresh, sour taste. They are small round berries that are shiny and bright red in color.
