I got some blackcurrant and cranberry from a gourmet shop. It inspired me to create this delicious nutritious berry breakfast bowl, and this beautiful Autumn composition.
Blackcurrant and cranberry are great Autumn foods and an excellent source of antioxidants and vitamin-C. 100 g of fresh currants provides more than 300% of daily-recommended intake values of vitamin-C. Research studies have shown that consumption of fruits rich in vitamin-C helps the human body develop immunity against infectious agents.
