Freeze-dried Red Currant

Freeze-dried red currant is one of nature’s richest sources of polyphenol antioxidants, including anthocyanins, quercetin and coumarins. These compounds help protect cells from oxidative stress, reduce inflammation and support cardiovascular, cognitive and immune function. Its high vitamin C content enhances immune defense, collagen formation and iron absorption, while vitamin K supports bone strength and proper blood clotting.

Rich in soluble fiber, particularly pectins, red currant promotes gut health, supports digestion, helps maintain satiety and contributes to balanced blood sugar levels. It may aid cholesterol metabolism by helping remove excess low-density lipoprotein (LDL), while potassium supports healthy blood pressure and fluid balance.

Coumarins and organic acids (like malic and succinic acid) support urinary tract and kidney health by promoting a gentle diuretic effect and helping prevent bacterial buildup and kidney stones. Traditionally used to stimulate appetite and support metabolism, red currant offers a functional boost for people managing fatigue or picky eating. With iron and manganese, it also contributes to oxygen transport and energy balance.

Enjoy as a snack, or add to yogurt, smoothies, porridge, desserts or teas. Can be used dry or rehydrated depending on your needs.
