On Bachelor Bites, I focus on simple food — backed by real science.
In this video, we take a closer look at autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata), a wild berry often overlooked but exceptionally rich in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant commonly associated with tomatoes.
Scientific studies have shown that autumn olive can contain significantly higher levels of lycopene than tomatoes, and that slow cooking increases lycopene bioavailability, making it easier for the body to absorb.
I show how I turn this wild fruit into a savory, ketchup-style condiment, while explaining the nutritional science behind it — from antioxidants and oxidative stress to why heat actually improves certain plant compounds.
Autumn olive is also a nitrogen-fixing plant, able to grow in poor soils, and while it’s considered invasive in parts of North America, using the fruit for food is one way to turn an overabundant resource into something valuable.
This video is for anyone interested in evidence-based cooking, wild and foraged foods, and simple recipes with real nutritional value.
