Inspired by the extraordinary nutraceutical and health benefits of the New Zealand blackcurrant, Miss Currant’s blackcurrant powder contains 38 powerful antioxidants (anthocyanins, procyanidins, flavanols and phenolic acids) to fight free radicals—which can damage cells and cause ageing. When you consume high quality antioxidants from Miss Currant, they will protect your body cells from the free radical damages and slow down the aging process—hence ‘A Fountain of Youth’.
How do antioxidants and anthocyanins help to slow down the ageing process and benefit our body?
The most important benefit of anthocyanins is that they are an important antioxidant which can fight radicals, reduce inflammations and help our cells and tissues to recover naturally.
Miss Currant’s powerful blackcurrant powder can protect the cellular functions of the body for the maintenance of optimal health, covering cardiovascular health, eye health, blood circulation, lung and respiratory health, skin and collagen production, immunity, brain health, energy and exercise recovery, blood sugar metabolism and breast health.
Can you explain the health properties of blackcurrants when compared with other, more well-known berries such as strawberries and blueberries?
Blackcurrant is known as the ‘King of Berries’, it outshines other berries in antioxidant (anthocyanin) level. Miss Currant has maximised this benefit by concentrating 600g of blackcurrants into 100g of powder, therefore every sachet is giving you the benefit of 30g blackcurrant fruits.
What makes Miss Currant Blackcurrant Powder unique?
We only use whole fruit with real nutrition, not extract. Unlike 95% of other products in the market, Miss Currant is made from whole, fresh blackcurrants, without any artificial and chemical process and additives. You are getting the maximum nutrition from the fruit’s skin and seeds, with no waste.
We only use the finest variety of blackcurrant Ben Ard from Canterbury—the world’s top growing region. It is a precious breed with the lowest yield and highest level of anthocyanins.
We use freeze dried technology to preserve maximum benefit and freshness, maintaining nearly 90% of the nutrients from fruits to powder. Traditional processing methods using heat can destroy the key antioxidants and nutrients.
After being freeze-dried, our blackcurrants are milled into fine powder, meaning it is much easier to digest. Miss Currant has also individually sealed the powder into convenient daily sachets with recyclable packaging, making it easy to transport and keep the freshness for longer.
Miss Currant does not contain any additives or preservatives, just pure nutrition with good taste. It is gluten-, dairy- and GMO-free without added sugar.
What are some of your favourite recipes and ideas for adding Miss Currant Blackcurrant Powder into your daily routine?
A simple and delicious recipe is to mix 1-2 sachets of powder into your yoghurt or smoothie. Use cool or luke warm water less than 60°C. This adds the RDI of vitamin C and vibrant colour to your drink as well as loading it with great nutrition to cover your daily antioxidant needs.
