Last but not least; blackcurrants.
The blackcurrant is a slightly bitter, slightly sweet berry that is the richest source of vitamin C across all (whole) berries.
A single cup serving provides 338% of the daily value for vitamin C .
These common berries are widely available in Europe, but they can be harder to find in the United States. This problem is because they were banned until 2006, due to blackcurrants supposedly threatening the timber industry.
Blackcurrants can vary between incredibly sour and sweet depending on their ripeness.
