FAQs
What is NFC redcurrant juice?
NFC stands for not from concentrate, which means that the juice is made by pressing ripe berries and then pasteurising lightly the juice to deliver a longer shelf life. It is full of fresh flavour – and with the nutritional benefits of the fruit intact. NFC redcurrant juice is different from redcurrant juice concentrate, which is a highly concentrated form that has been processed to remove the water content. NFC redcurrant juice is used for healthy smoothies, fruit juice mixes and also jellies, jams and other food products. It can also be used in cooking to add flavour and colour to dishes such as sauces, marinades and desserts. It can even be used in cocktails to add a fruity and colourful twist to drinks.
What are the nutritional benefits of NFC redcurrant juice?
Redcurrants are small red berries that belong to the same family as gooseberries and blackcurrants. They have a slightly tart and tangy taste, with a hint of sweetness. Redcurrants are rich in antioxidants and vitamins, which can provide various health benefits such as boosting immunity, reducing inflammation and preventing infections. They are especially high in vitamin C, which is essential for collagen synthesis, wound healing and iron absorption. Redcurrants are also a good source of potassium, fibre and phytochemicals, which can help regulate blood pressure and lower cholesterol. They have a low glycaemic index, which means they do not cause a rapid spike in blood sugar levels after consumption. They are also low in calories and fat, making them a suitable addition to a healthy and balanced diet.
