Blackcurrant, the king of nutritious fruits

When it comes to blackcurrant, you may not be very familiar with it, because it is not as ubiquitous as apples, plums and oranges. If you see blackcurrant with your own eyes, you may confuse it with the blueberries on the market. Because the two are too similar.

Blackcurrant is the fruit of a deciduous upright shrub plant. It contains a lot of vitamins and organic acids. In addition to being used for direct consumption, it can also be used to make jam, beverage and preserved fruit. It is a fruit with high nutritional value.

Nutritional value of blackcurrant

Although the fruit of blackcurrant is very small, its nutritional value should not be underestimated. Fresh blackcurrant is rich in vitamin C, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, anthocyanins and other substances, which is very beneficial to the human body.

Blackcurrant is rich in protein and carbohydrates, including 43 percent glucose and 57 percent fructose. After digestion, glucose can directly provide energy for daily activities for the human body.

Amino acid

The amino acids in blackcurrant are proline, methionine and glutamic acid. Methionine is deficient in many foods, especially in soybean products. Therefore, when eating soybean products, eating blackcurrant appropriately can balance the nutritional intake.

Trace element

Blackcurrant concentrates the necessary trace elements of human body, such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, etc. these elements are closely related to human growth and development, nervous system development, endocrine, etc., and their importance to human body is self-evident.

Vitamin

The content of vitamin C in blackcurrant is remarkable. Every 100 grams of blackcurrant contains 464 mg of vitamin C, which is very rare in many fruits. Vitamin C plays an important role in promoting collagen synthesis and enhancing human immunity. In addition, the contents of nicotinic acid and pantothenic acid in blackcurrant are relatively high.

Pigment

The pigment in blackcurrant reaches as much as 4.53 percent , most of which are water-soluble pigments, such as anthocyanin-3-glucoside, anthocyanin-3-rutin, delphinium-3-glucoside and delphinium-3-rutin. These pigments can remove free radicals in the body, delay aging and prevent vascular blockage.

Organic acid

Blackcurrant is also rich in organic acids, mainly citric acid. These organic acids can help the human body excrete excess lactic acid from the blood, and play many roles, such as improving fatigue, relieving constipation, calming and calming the mind.

Efficacy and function of blackcurrant

Blackcurrant is not only a fruit with rich taste and high nutritional value, but also has many effects on human body. Regular consumption of blackcurrant can play a good role in health care.

Strong teeth

When the human body lacks vitamin C, it will lead to malnutrition, gingival atrophy and other symptoms. The content of vitamin C in blackcurrant is quite rich. More importantly, blackcurrant also contains many antioxidant components, which can enhance the effect of vitamin C.

Protect the liver

The liver can be regarded as the chemical plant of the human body. If a person's liver has a problem, it will seriously damage the health of the human body. Antioxidants in blackcurrant, such as anthocyanin, vitamin C, flavonoids and phenolic acids, have good antioxidant effects and play a significant role in protecting the liver.

Improve vision

If the retina in the eyeball is damaged, it will affect the visual function of the human body. Many substances in blackcurrant can help the human body enhance visual function.

Delay aging

Human aging is a complex process, but its core lies in the peroxidation damage caused by free radicals. With the increase of people's age, their ability to scavenge free radicals becomes weaker and weaker, so the human body naturally begins to age gradually. If we continue to supplement antioxidant substances to the human body, it can play a good role in scavenging free radicals and delaying aging.

Protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular

The unsaturated fatty acids in blackcurrant seeds have a good role in protecting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular.

Efficacy of blackcurrant raisins

Blackcurrant raisin is one of many kinds of raisins in Xinjiang. It is named blackcurrant raisin because it looks more like the fruit of blackcurrant. This kind of grape generally grows in the north of Altay Mountains. Because its growth environment is relatively cold, its growth cycle is long, and its appearance is black, it is a relatively rare grape species. According to modern nutritional research, blackcurrant raisins are rich in sugars, organic acids, vitamins, active substances, mineral elements and special aromatic components, and their nutritional value is very high.

Prevention of anemia

Blackcurrant raisins are rich in iron, which can prevent iron deficiency anemia. Women, in particular, have periodic physiological blood loss every month, so many women often have mild anemia, pale face and cold hands and feet all year round. At this time, you can eat a handful of blackcurrant raisins at ordinary times, which can effectively improve this symptom.

Protect teeth

The sugars contained in blackcurrant raisins are mainly fructose and glucose, not sucrose that will cause tooth decay, so you can eat blackcurrant raisins with confidence. In addition, often chewing some blackcurrant raisins can also play a role in strengthening teeth and sterilization.

Promote health

Eating a small amount of blackcurrant raisins every day can effectively reduce cholesterol in the blood, inhibit cholesterol oxidation and promote health.
