Blackcurrants are amongst some of the richest naturally occurring sources of Vitamin C,  making them great for fighting colds and winter ailments, and they also have a high antioxidant content. British blackcurrants are renowned and bred for their deep purple colour, which indicates a high level of anthocyanins - important disease-fighting antioxidants.
