    Isn’t blackcurrant illegal in the US? I remember hearing that somewhere anyway.
    Such a shame, cassis (blackcurrant soda) makes for such a tasty drink.

      They are now legal to grow in many states. Unfortunately still not going to find it in a grocery store most likely. I grow my own in the backyard so I can have some at least part of the year. They’re perennial, very easy to grow, and produce a ton of berries. Gooseberries were banned for similar reasons, but are now also legal in many states.
