I planted a white currant bush last year and this year it gave me a couple of handfuls. They have a fresh taste like a green grape but a bit more tart. I'm in the process of drying them now so I can use them to make some currant scones

I've seen red and black currant, but never a white, could it be not ripe yet, or it is just one of types? Nevertheless, I love black currant, it makes The best jam with gooseberry.
No, they're ripe. I believe its a variety of red currant that lacks the red pigment
