I planted a white currant bush last year and this year it gave me a couple of handfuls. They have a fresh taste like a green grape but a bit more tart. I’m in the process of drying them now so I can use them to make some currant scones
These are delicious. I had never tried currants until I found some for sale in the Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia. I read that currants were illegal in USA for a while because they spread a white pine disease, but for whatever reason are now legal again (as of like 10+ years ago)
I’ve seen red and black currant, but never a white, could it be not ripe yet, or it is just one of types? Nevertheless, I love black currant, it makes The best jam with gooseberry.
No, they’re ripe. I believe its a variety of red currant that lacks the red pigment
