A deciduous shrub bearing dark purple-black berries that are carried in loose bunches. Black currants have a sweet-tart flavour.

The fruit is high in Vitamin C and although can be eaten fresh, is more commonly used in jams, preserves, syrups, and cordials. Plants are also grown for their ornamental value.
