I didn't know until very recently that you could get a reasonable amount of blackcurrants delivered for home use. I'd seen things like 50kg a long time ago for a pretty high price per kilo, but I'd almost given up on eating blackcurrants by themselves. When I say by themselves, you can go into the supermarket and buy bags of forest fruits or summer fruits which are typically around 25% blackcurrants. In my personal experience, the only place I've seen frozen blackcurrants by themselves is in stores in London. Such was my desire to buy blackcurrants, I have bought them frozen in London and taken them on a 280-mile train journey home before. The blackcurrant season in the UK is only six weeks long and apparently 90% of the crop goes to Ribena. I've even visited a pick-your-own fruit farm to pick blackcurrants, such is the difficulty in buying them usually. I've also had the idea of acquiring an allotment, largely for the purpose of planting blackcurrant bushes. Thankfully no allotments or long train journeys with defrosting blackcurrants will be required in the future.
These Greens (no apostrophe in the listing title) blackcurrants come in 5 separate one kilo bags. They were delivered packed tightly together in a cardboard box, which was contained inside an outer polystyrene box to keep them cold. The fruit was all still perfectly frozen on opening the box. Looking at the packaging, it appears that they are from Belgium. The quality of the blackcurrants was very good, with no obvious bits of detritus from the bushes when harvesting them. The taste compares very favourable to any other blackcurrants I have had before. I would highly recommend these and I will certainly be buying again.
The best before date was exactly two years away from the date of delivery.
