Which friut does currants come from?
Currants are thornless upright shrubs which yield glossy red or black berries, depending on the species. In order to be classified as a currant, the bush must be in the genus Ribes. Native to the Northern Hemisphere, currants have been cultivated throughout Europe and Asia for centuries. In the United States, commercial cultivation of currants was banned until 2003, due to concerns that they could harbor a disease which had the potential to devastate American timber stocks.
