I Googled "blackcurrant juice" and found something called Pomegreat whose ingredients are Pomegranate juice concentrate, blackcurrant juice concentrate and red grape juice concentrate: http://www.iherb.com/ProductDetails.aspx?c=1&pid=-8868310341203119801 Not all blackcurrant juice, but it sounds good, if the concentration preserves the good stuff. The Jarrow Formulas label gives it some credibility. Ribena is generally sold in the UK as a sugary blackcurrant drink, but Googling "blackcurrant juice" ribena "no added sugar" netted Ribena No Added Sugar Concentrate http://www.abitofhome.ca/page/C1/PROD/7102002 CurrantC is 37% blackcurrant juice: "The juice is made from concentrate with filtered water, and pure cane sugar is added to offset the tartness." This is the same thing I figure is going on with cranberry juice. http://www.currantc.com/?gclid=CMvbjrrPppQCFR8cagodflgEuQ Googling '"cranberry juice" "no sugar added"' gives a lot more hits, as I expected. That's all the research I feel like doing right now. Enjoy. Live long and prosper, Kennita Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=30846
