More Vitamin C Than Oranges. Free Fertilizer Forever. Why Is It Illegal To Sell?

17x More Lycopene Than Tomatoes. Free Fertilizer From Thin Air. Now Illegal To Sell. The United States government spent decades planting this shrub across America. They distributed seedlings to farmers. They recommended it for erosion control, wildlife habitat, and land reclamation. State nurseries propagated it by the millions. Then something changed. By 2023, multiple states had banned its sale entirely. This video investigates the strange journey of Autumn Olive from government recommended miracle plant to criminalized invasive species. We trace its origins in the Himalayas where villages relied on it for millennia. We follow its introduction to America in 1830 and its explosive promotion during the Dust Bowl era. We examine who benefits when a free food source becomes illegal. The answers might change how you look at the plants growing along your local roadsides. The Science You Need To Know Autumn Olive berries have attracted serious scientific attention over the past two decades. USDA researchers discovered lycopene concentrations that dwarfed commercial tomatoes. University studies documented antioxidant profiles rivaling famous superfruits. Medical researchers found compounds that influence blood sugar regulation at levels comparable to pharmaceutical interventions. The plant also performs biological nitrogen fixation through symbiosis with Frankia bacteria, essentially manufacturing fertilizer from atmospheric nitrogen. Peer reviewed journals have published findings on hepatoprotective effects, nephroprotective properties, and potent free radical scavenging activity. This video synthesizes research from institutions across three continents to present the full picture of what science has confirmed about this controversial plant.
