More Calcium Than Milk, More Iron Than Spinach. Why Is The "Tree of Life" Sold Only As A Pill?

More Calcium Than Milk, More Iron Than Spinach. Why Is The "Tree of Life" Sold Only As A Pill? There's a tree that grows 15 feet in a single season, contains more calcium than milk, more iron than spinach, and can even purify contaminated water—yet it's been deliberately kept out of grocery stores across America. In developing nations, entire communities depend on it to survive malnutrition, calling it the "Tree of Life" and eating it by the bowlful like we eat salad. Meanwhile, in the U.S., we're overfed but undernourished, spending billions on synthetic vitamins while this natural powerhouse sits hidden behind a paywall. The health-food industry discovered they could turn it into expensive capsules and sell it at Whole Foods for $30 a bottle, transforming a survival vegetable into a luxury supplement. Fresh leaves wilt within 24 hours of harvest, making them "incompatible" with the industrial cold chain that trucks produce thousands of miles—so instead of teaching people to grow their own, corporations chose profit over access. What they won't advertise is that this so-called "exotic" plant grows so aggressively that you can cultivate it in cold climates like an annual tomato, planting in spring and harvesting massive amounts before the first frost kills it. The system benefits from you believing it's too difficult or tropical for your backyard, keeping you dependent on their processed powder instead of pharmaceutical-grade nutrition growing in your garden. This tree can literally feed you and clean your water, making it the ultimate off-grid asset—which is precisely why industrial agriculture wants nothing to do with it. Poor countries eat it by the bowl; rich countries eat it by the milligram, one overpriced capsule at a time. The "Tree of Life" didn't disappear from produce aisles by accident—it was hijacked, repackaged, and priced out of reach because fresh leaves don't fit the business model.
