Whitecurrants, raw

Whitecurrants are small, pale berries. The figures here describe the raw whole fruit with the stalks removed. They mainly provide water and carbohydrate, with vitamin C and potassium. Per 100g, they contain 5.6g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugars, 40mg of vitamin C and 290mg of potassium.

Vitamin C supports normal collagen formation and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Potassium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function. The sugars in raw whitecurrants occur naturally within the fruit. They contain only traces of fat and saturated fat, and little salt. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
