Red and White Currants (Ribes Rubrum):
Currant
(red or white currant) or Ribes rubrum, is a member of the gooseberry family
and are very rich vitamin C and K. In a 100 gram serving, red currants (or
white) supply 56 calories and are a rich source of vitamin C, providing 49% of
the Daily Value. Vitamin K is the only other essential nutrient in significant
content at 10% of DV.
Red
and white currants are known for their relatively high content of organic acids
and mixed polyphenols. As many as 65 different phenolic compounds may
contribute to the astringent properties of redcurrants, with these contents
increasing during the last month of ripening. Twenty-five individual
polyphenols and other nitrogen-containing phytochemicals in redcurrant juice
have been isolated specifically with the astringent flavor profile sensed in
the human tongue.
