Forbidden fruits: Berries, banned? That’s right. In the USA currants were banned from being grown or sold for many years. This ban has since been lifted, and while UK and European gardeners are familiar with this fruit in their gardens, many Americans are yet to discover the wonders of currants.

In this week’s episode, Ben reveals the reason why these delicious nutritious fruits were off limits and why they’re now (mostly) back on the menu in the States, while demonstrating how to grow these treasures from planting to harvest.

Get ready for the new currant trend! ❤️💙
