Origins and History of Cultivation
The blackcurrant is a fruit native to the more temperate zones of northern Europe and northern Asia. Over time, the plant was also cultivated in many regions of North America, although its cultivation was prohibited for a long time – it hosted a fungus that was dangerous for white pine trees and threatened the timber industry. The berries have historically been known to be edible, eaten directly or made into jams, sauces, juices, and jellies. Furthermore, blackcurrants are used to synthesize dark purple pigments.
Plant and Fruit
The blackcurrant is a dark purple berry that grows on woody Ribes nigrum shrubs. This medium-sized plant is grown in Europe primarily for its fruit. It grows well in well-drained, organically rich soil, best in full sun or partial shade, protected from winter winds and frost. It grows wild in the mountainous areas of the Alps, in woods, along streams, and in hedgerows. Ribes nigrum produces yellow-green flowers that bloom in spring and give way to long, hanging clusters of berries in June-July. The green leaves are aromatic when crushed and are used in herbal medicine. The fruits resemble very dark blueberries and are more intense in color than the red and white varieties. The flavor of the ripe berries is intense and sweet, while the unripe ones are more tart, and each berry contains a small, edible seed.
