When I was in Europe, I had the opportunity to try red currants, picked off a bush. I’m currently drinking Lipton Forest Fruit Tea, which is flavored with black and red currants – and not available in the USA. I like them, but I never saw them sold at the supermarket, or used as flavoring in jellies/jams.
Do we not like the taste of them? Are they too hard to grow or transport? Is it the stigma of “don’t eat red round berries growing on bushes” we were told when we were kids?
