Blackcurrants (Ribes nigrum), and red and whitecurrants (both Ribes rubrum), are fine to eat fresh, but are really prized for their processed forms: jams, jellies, juices, concentrates, and cake fillings packed with rich fruity flair.
They are great for getting some crop out of partial shade on damp soils where most other soft fruit will be unhappy, but like any fruiting plant they give the best yields in a sunny, sheltered location.
