Black Currants Banned in America: The Forgotten Superfood Story

Black currants banned in America is a story most people have never heard, even though this berry once thrived in US gardens. This video explains how a fruit packed with vitamin C, antioxidants, and rare nutrients went from a trusted food and medicine to a forbidden plant. You’ll learn why black currants were used in Europe for centuries, how they helped save British children from scurvy during World War II, and why the US government chose eradication instead of nutrition. The video breaks down the science behind black currants, including their vitamin C levels, anthocyanins, and gamma-linolenic acid, and explains how these benefits were ignored in favor of protecting the timber industry. We also explore the role of white pine blister rust, how federal agents destroyed millions of currant bushes, and how an entire flavor and food tradition disappeared from American culture. Finally, the video covers how the ban was lifted, why restrictions still exist in some states, and how disease-resistant varieties made a safe comeback possible. Watch until the end to understand how food policy, profit, and public health collided — and why most Americans have never tasted this lost superfood.
