Blackcurrant seed oil is a fat extracted from the seeds of blackcurrants. The figures here describe the oil rather than the whole fruit. It provides mainly fat and energy: per 100g, it contains 100g of fat, including 8.2g of saturated fat, and supplies 3696 kJ of energy.
Fat provides energy and helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins. Most of the fat in this oil is unsaturated. As a concentrated source of energy, the amount used is relevant for people monitoring their energy intake. It provides no fibre and only trace amounts of protein, so its nutritional role differs from that of whole blackcurrants. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.

About these figures
Values are per 100g of the food as described (9 samples). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: Data from Fatty Acid Supplement only (1998). Full, unevaluated analytical data is available from the Food Standards Agency's library.
