Also called Blackcurrant or Northern Black Currant, it has been prized as a daily food-herb berry used in teas, congee, baked goods, and seasonal tonics. Its nature is sweet-sour and gently warming, making it a pleasant, food-grade fruit for everyday nourishment and flavor.

As a food herb, it is enjoyed as a gentle daily nourishment rather than a medicine.
