Blackcurrant syrup

Blackcurrants (Ribes nigrum) are hardy perennial berry shrubs that grow wild throughout Europe, especially along rivers, lakes and in damp forests. These dark purple berries are known for their intense flavour and powerful health-promoting properties. Blackcurrant bushes are also widespread in the fields and forests of Latvia, where they absorb the natural benefits of their surroundings, producing berries of high nutritional value. Blackcurrants are among the berries richest in vitamins and minerals, and their benefits are recognised by both traditional medicine and modern science.

Blackcurrants contain up to 8 times more vitamin C than lemons, making them an excellent remedy for strengthening the immune system and easing the first symptoms of a cold. Blackcurrant syrup is rich in iron, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and zinc, which help the body fight free radicals and promote cell regeneration. Consuming blackcurrants improves metabolism and provides anti-inflammatory, diaphoretic and diuretic properties. Blackcurrant syrup is an irreplaceable tool for strengthening the body's defences and maintaining overall health.
