Blackcurrant name is derived from "Ribes nigrum") and similar fruit syrups and juices. Raw blackcurrants are 82% water, 15% carbohydrates, 1% protein and 0.4% fat (table). Per 100 g serving providing 63 kilocalories, the raw fruit has high vitamin C content (218% of the Daily Value, DV) and moderate levels of iron and manganese (12% DV each). Other nutrients are present in negligible amounts (less than 10% DV, table). Polyphenol phytochemicals present in the fruit, seeds and leaves, are being investigated for their potential biological activities. Major anthocyanins in blackcurrant pomace are delphinidin-3-"O"-glucoside, delphinidin-3-"O"-rutinoside, cyanidin-3-"O"-glucoside, and cyanidin-3-"O"-rutinoside, which are retained in
Acer nigrum Acer nigrum Acer nigrum (black maple) is a species of maple closely related to "A. saccharum" (sugar maple), and treated as a subspecies of it by some authors, as "Acer saccharum" subsp. "nigrum". Identification can be confusing due to the tendency of the two species to form hybrids. The simplest and most accurate method for distinguishing between the two trees is the generally three-lobed leaves of the black maple versus the generally five-lobed leaves of the sugar maple. The leaves of the black maple also tend to have a "droopy" appearance. Other differences that are not as pronounced include darker,
