Blackcurrants are small, dark berries. The figures here describe the raw whole fruit with the stalks removed. They provide carbohydrate, mainly as naturally occurring sugars, along with vitamin C and potassium. Per 100g, they contain 6.6g of carbohydrate, including 6.6g of sugars, 200mg of vitamin C and 370mg of potassium.
Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. It is also needed to form collagen, which supports skin and other tissues. Potassium contributes to normal muscle and nerve function. Raw blackcurrants contain only trace amounts of fat and saturated fat, and little salt. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
