UK: The Rise and Fall of Currants

  • Resumen

  • In today's episode, join John and Patrick as they uncover the captivating history of currants, tracing their evolution from Corinth to becoming a dietary staple in England. By the 17th century, these miniature grapes, mainly imported from Greek territories, served as an essential sweetener before sugar became widely accessible.

    The Levant Company seized upon this trade, yielding substantial profits for shareholders and influencing British culinary traditions. Explore the dynamic rise and eventual decline of the currant trade, leaving behind a lasting impact on global commerce and gastronomy.
