The dark fruits with black, reddish or violet colors were already known in Greece and they were named "a blood of titanium". The wild red redcurrants can make a mistake with the snowball (Viburnum opulus), a shrub that grows close to the water, it blooms from June and his fruits are red brilliant. The consumption of raw Viburnum can cause poisoning. There is known the existence of the liquor of sloes from the middle age. The queen Blanca de Navarra being sick took liquor of this fruit with medicinal ends. During the XIXth century the presence of pacharaneras selling sloes on the markets of Pamplona, Navarre, was very habitual.
