White Currant-Ribes sativum With a delectable sweetness and pearly, translucent color, White Currants may be one of the best currants on the market for fresh-from-the bush eating. Sweeter than others, this unique variety is also high in vitamin C, making it an ideal snack. Grows to 4 ft. tall, self-pollinating. Zones 3-8. White currants grow on woody shrubs that are approximately two meters tall. Delicate strands of the small round berries first appear green but later ripen into creamy shades of pink and translucent white, depending upon variety. Their soft pulpy flesh has a juicy texture and contains multiple small edible seeds. Though still quite tart, White currants are considerably sweeter than the black and red varieties. White currants are botanically classified as Ribes sativum, the same species as red currants. They are technically an albino version of the red currant and can range in color from white, yellow or pink.
