possibly poor year for them?  - too wet?


I had about 12 [no:] instead of pounds of...

Feckin mystery to me. I can buy any other type of berry apart from blackcurrants.

Truth be told they are supposed to be a 'superfood' with plenty of that good stuff in them.

I know this sounds weird but there's no shortage of Ribena???

*antioxidants.

It has to be a case of supply and demand. A few years ago you never saw a fresh blueberry, now they are everywhere.
Blackcurrants are easy to grow but you need a bit of space. Birds eat most of mine. Some very healthy blackbirds who repay me with their song so it's a win-win situation.

D, that might be the scenario but if that was the case surely I could by frozen from last year?

Buy them from Salisbury's all the time, usually on reduced to clear as they are over priced.

sorry I think I'm thinking of blackberries.

I once ate a punnet of blueberrys and got a shock when i visited the toilet.
thought i was dying until i remembered what i ate.

You can try here but they are pricey as is delivery.

if you find any blackcurrant content in Ribena you'll be doing well .Another GREAT British con .

Purple coloured  sugary water .

But the ads tell a different story 

EU should have banned the advertising  .



This time of year you will get REAL blackcurrants (they grow on bushes)  at PYO  farms all over the place
