LifeLike Freeze-dried Blackcurrants LL060

Detailed product description

Freeze-dried blackcurrants are 100% blackcurrants freeze-dried without any additives or preservatives, and without any chemical treatments or flavourings.
Freeze-drying is a process of drying fruit by freezing. The fruit is first rapidly frozen and then dried at a lower pressure, where the water in the fruit turns to vapour, allowing the fruit to retain its natural structure, colour, aroma and, above all, nutritional value, including all the vitamins and minerals found in fresh fruit. Quite simply, everything found in fresh fruit is also present in the freeze-dried version. Blackcurrants are rich in vitamin C (up to three times more than other varieties of currant, by way of comparison). They
are popular for their refreshing, delicately tart flavour. These purple berries contain plenty of minerals and vitamins that are important for the proper functioning of our bodies – such as vitamin E, B vitamins, calcium, iron, rutin, potassium and zinc. They are also an excellent source of fibre.
