Organic Blackcurrant - 250 mg - 100 vegetarian capsules

○ Latin name: Ribes nigrum ○ Dosage: 250 mg per capsule Blackcurrant, also known as Ribes nigrum, is a fruit-bearing shrub native to Europe and northern Asia. It is cultivated in many parts of the world for its edible berries which are used in the manufacture of jams, syrups, liqueurs and health products. In gardening, blackcurrant is easy to grow and can grow in a variety of soils, but prefers moist, well-drained soils. Shrubs are usually pruned annually to encourage new growth and better berry production. ֍ Did you know that blackcurrant has been used in the fashion and dyeing industries? Blackcurrant berries have indeed been used to produce natural dyes for clothing and textiles since ancient times. In the Middle Ages, dyers used the leaves and fruits of black currants to produce a deep black dye, which was highly valued for its quality and durability. This dye was used to dye the clothes of the rich and noble, as well as to dye leather and wool. Today, although the use of natural dyes has become less common, blackcurrant is still used in the fashion industry to produce vegetable dyes and to add a touch of natural color to certain fabrics and garments.
