Currants which are Zante raisins are always dried. Currants which are the
fruit of genus Ribes may be fresh or dried. Cultivation of Ribes is limited
because they serve as a host for white-pine blister rust (Cronartium
ribicola). Sultanas are a small yellow seedless raisin originating in Asia
Minor.
