Blackcurrant
Blackcurrants are a simple and common fruit found in Europe.
Since blackcurrants have a sour and tart flavor, they are often sweetened prior to consumption.
Due to their availability and popular flavor, they are used as a culinary fruit in cooking – and in the development of various products.
In fact, they are one of the most commercially successful types of fruit, and it’s easy to see blackcurrant candy, juice, soda, tea, and so on.

The reason for this is that they are considered a threat to the US logging industry.
