Are there any types of black currant that can be eaten raw without loads of sugar ?
I eat raw jostaberries but are there any other types ?

?
I always eat blackcurrants straight off the bush or if they make it home, in a dish with yogurt or such, Wasteful to cook them.

Really the shop ones are too sharp - do the home produced taste better ?
What type/s are you growing ?
