The 70-Million-Year-Old Superfruit That Powered Empires (And Why You've Never Heard of It)

Описание: What if I told you there's a fruit that sustained Genghis Khan's conquering armies, protected Soviet cosmonauts from cosmic radiation, and has survived for 70 million years—yet most Americans have never heard of it?

Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) is the most nutritionally dense plant on Earth. It contains ALL FOUR omega fatty acids (the only plant to do so), up to 50 times more vitamin C than oranges, and nearly 200 bioactive compounds. Ancient Greeks fed it to their warhorses to make their coats literally shine. Tibetan healers called it "liquid gold." Russian scientists classified it as aerospace food.

So why did it disappear from Western agriculture?

The answer reveals everything wrong with industrial food systems: sea buckthorn is covered in brutal thorns, its berries cling stubbornly to branches (making mechanical harvest impossible), and it tastes aggressively sour and oily—nothing like the sweet, convenient fruits we've been trained to expect.

Join me as we trace sea buckthorn's journey from Bronze Age battlefields to the International Space Station, and discover why this "forgotten superfruit" might be exactly what your garden needs.
