Taste a Rare Treasure—Freeze-Dried Black Currant Halves
Discover the Hidden Gem of Black Currants
Black currants are a rarity in the culinary world, and if you’ve never tasted one, you’re not alone. According to a Cornell University horticulture expert, only 0.1% of Americans have experienced the bold flavor of these extraordinary berries.
From Agricultural Staple to Forgotten Fruit
Once a thriving crop in the Northeast, especially in New York State, black currants were cherished in the late 1800s for their tartness, adding a unique twist to pies, jams, and baked goods. But history took a bittersweet turn when currant plants were found to contribute to a fungus harmful to white pine trees. To protect the forestry industry, the U.S. government banned their cultivation, ending the black currant boom by the early 1900s.
