There are currently about one hundred and fifty types of currants. Due to the variety of species, currants grow almost everywhere, starting from southern latitudes and ending with northern latitudes. The most favorable place for currants is the black earth loam.
Currants love a lot of sun, and therefore currant bushes feel best in open spaces well illuminated by sunlight. At the same time, the distances between the currant bushes should be large, at least one meter. In this case, the currant berries will grow larger, juicy and sweet.
The most famous types of currants are
black currant
and
red currant
.
Black currant in its wild form is very common in Siberia and Northern Europe. The leaves of black currant, due to their high content of essential oils, are very odorous, which makes them useful for making tinctures, tea, various medicinal drinks and decoctions. Black currant is often made from
liqueurs
and syrups.
Blackcurrant jam
is considered one of the healthiest and most delicious. Black currant is an excellent source of vitamins, especially vitamin C.
Red currants also grow abundantly in the wild. Compared to black currant, red currant has a more sour taste. The seeds in the pulp of the red currant are harder and larger. The leaves of the red currant are as useful as the leaves of the black currant.
