Bunches of currants resemble grapes, only they differ from them in miniature and grace, since they grow in the harsh Siberian climate. Nature has endowed the fruits of plants with a wide variety of colors: white, red, black, green. If you follow the Russian proverb, then each color of berries is intended for a certain generation of the same family. Currant berries are rich in vitamins and healing abilities that help a person cope with many ailments
Folk wisdom in the words of a proverb says that:
* Black currants are planted for grandchildren.
* Red currants are planted for children.
* White currants are planted for themselves.
Black currant
The younger generation especially needs vitamins, which is probably why popular wisdom declares to grow black currants for grandchildren. Although vitamins are needed by the human body at any age. Moreover, Blackcurrant demonstrates not only the rich content of a whole set of vitamins (provitamin "A", B, C, P), among which vitamin "C" is the leader in terms of content, but also a lot of other substances that a person needs for the balanced work of all his organs. These are organic acids, and glycosides, and sugars, and trace elements … that turn the plant into an invaluable healer of many acute and chronic human ailments.
Useful substances penetrate into all parts of the plant, and therefore fans of the Currant use fragrant leaves, swollen buds, and ripe black-sided berries in cooking and healing. Vitamin berries reliably retain their healing qualities in any form: fresh, frozen, dried, turned into juice, compote, jelly, jam, jam, marshmallow or "dry" wine of a beautiful color and tart taste.
Waiting for ripe fruits, Blackcurrant willingly shares with a person its fragrant lobed leaves, decorated with a serrated edge and endowed with nature glands that produce healing substances. Delicate spring leaves of Blackcurrant will accompany the leaves of the Primrose of spring when preparing vitamin salad at a time when there is still a whole summer ahead of fruits. And from the leaves collected together with the stalks, infusions and teas are prepared that can restore the appetite lost by nervous breakdowns; to establish the work of the diseased digestive system; prevent the victory of colds; reduce obesity and rheumatic pains; free the kidneys from stones and much more.
Red Ribes
Red currant is somewhat inferior in size and content of vitamins to Black currant, but it also has some attractive qualities that encourage summer residents to have its compact bushes on the site for treating their children.
After all, while the older generation brings beauty to summer cottages, their children work in a dusty and stuffy city, losing their appetite and immunity from colds. That is why it is so nice to treat children who came for the weekend with red currant juice. This soft drink is rich in vitamins "C", "P", and free acids, which are more in Red Currant than in Black Currant.
Drinks from Red Currant perfectly quench thirst, improve appetite, restore strength spent on production, have diaphoretic and laxative effects.
White currant
Older summer residents plant white currants for themselves, since its transparent berries are very useful at this age. The fruits of the White Currant have a beneficial effect on the work of the heart and blood composition, and also do not provoke an allergic reaction of the body.
Green "currant"
The Gooseberry plant is included by botanists in the genus Currant, and therefore we can say that its green fruits are a kind of currant. Personally, I am not a fan of this berry, especially the one whose surface is covered with hairy bristles. But, this does not affect the healing abilities of the berries of this plant, always ready to help the metabolism disturbed in the body or fight obesity. By the way, the fruits of the Gooseberry can be not only green, but also purple-lilac.
