The shrub produces large dark berries, which grow best in cool, moist conditions. The plant is also a good source of pollen and nectar for bees. Blackcurrants are usually propagated by cuttings or parts of the rootstock. Plants can also be started from seed, but they take longer to bear fruit. Berries are usually harvested in late summer or early autumn.

Our berries are freeze-dried. But what is that?

Freeze-drying is a food preservation process in which water is extracted from food by freezing it and exposing it to a vacuum. When the temperature is raised again, thanks to that vacuum, the moisture in the fruit dissipates, instead of melting. Freeze-drying is becoming increasingly popular because it preserves the food's flavour, texture and nutritional value. Freeze-dried powdered food has a long shelf life and is easy to transport and store.
