Currant Juice

I discovered currant juice this year in an odd stroke of fate. One of my friends, Zeb Weeks, sells fruit for his uncle in Paradise, Utah every summer. He also sells currant juice products from the farm including currant juice, currant jams, currant syrups, etc. The currant juice is a big hit with the locals up there in Paradise, because the currant is like an antioxidant producing berry "on steroids". Apparently, currants are well known throughout Europe for having an extremely high concentration of antioxidants and vitamins. I had never heard much about the fruit, but Zeb told me that his uncle has done a ton of research and has cultivated a beautiful crop right here in the mountains of Utah. He's been selling the juice and syrup for a while now, and I guess one lady up there swears that it cured her of cancer. I'm sure that the FDA has not evaluated her statement, but I've done some reading and confirmed that there are some definite nutritional benefits to drinking currant juice.

Personally, I was just looking for a gourmet, non-alcoholic, and non-carbonated beverage to serve at my private dinner parties. And, the currant juices from Zeb's family's farm possess incredible flavor! It is a perfect addition to any dinner, holiday, or celebration. I liked it so much, that I offered to help Zeb build a web site to sell his family's juice online.
