A Plant of Well-being
It's a plant that grows in the middle of the forests and shady places; a shrub with pleasantly aromatic leaves and small black fruits with a rich pulp and a sweetish taste.
It's very popular in Germany, France and England where people make a fine liqueur called "cassis" which is used for jams and syrups.
This small and delicate fruit is also considered since the beginning of the eighteenth century as an elixir of life, because it is rich in vitamins, especially Vitamin C and minerals such as: potassium, calcium, phosphorus and iron. That's why they use these fruits to cure arthritis, rheumatic pains and to have benefits on liver and kidneys; also good to strenghten the organism to fight the flu, tooth pain, tonsillitis, headaches. Good for digestion, diuretic and anti-inflammatory.
So "Blackcurrant" is a Gem of Nature; small and delicate, but at the same time powerful... A little treasure of the forest!
