Blackcurrant Skins:
Blackcurrant skins are a rich source of dietary fibre, which can have numerous benefits for digestive health. It supports the correct pH of the bowel (slightly acidic) by promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria that produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), such as butyrate. In addition to its fiber content, blackcurrant skins also contain other bioactive compounds, such as polyphenols, which have been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds may also contribute to the potential health benefits of blackcurrant skins on gut health.
What are short chain fatty acids?
SCFAs are produced when gut bacteria ferment dietary fiber in the large intestine, and they have been shown to have numerous health benefits, including reducing inflammation, improving gut barrier function, and promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. In addition, SCFAs can also help to lower the pH of the gut environment, making it more acidic.
The acidic environment of the gut can help to promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria. This can help to maintain a healthy balance of gut bacteria, which is important for overall digestive health.
