Blackcurrant powder, Drinking Stories

Blackcurrants feral on the steep bank behind my house, inaccessable without powertools and protective clothing

So I lashed out on SUJON Blackcurant powder $40.50 for 189g
Apparently blackcurrants have the highest in anthocyanins
antioxidant activity
blackcurrants 100g 12,881
blueberries 6,341
green tea 250ml 1,500

Sujon says

New independent research suggests that SuJon New Zealand Blackcurrants are the Number One Super Fruit in the world, being the highest antioxidant cultivated berry. This is due to high intensity of natural UV light, a pristine environment, perfect growing conditions and unique varieties to New Zealand. Being the richest natural source of blackcurrant poly phenols available they also outperform bilberry, acai, goji, pomegranate, grape seed, pine bark and blueberry in antioxidant potency. The table below compares the antioxidant activity in Blackcurrants with other foods.
