Edible Gardening

Why Did They OUTLAW This Wild Edible Historically? In 1911 It was Banned. Now Legal in many states.



Why did they outlaw red and blackcurrants back in 1911 in the US? Why is it still illegal in multiple states? What are the scientifically-backed benefits of this berry? We will look at the research.

  1. White currents are lovely too I've 2 different varieties of black currents red currents and white currents growing

  2. In Canada we can pick them wild or grow them. I have kidney stones due to Urich acid and any black fruit will help. BTW anyone who suffers from Uric acid stones, you can take a prescription drug called Allopurinol that will prevent them with minimal if any side effects.

  3. The ban was lifted in Oregon because there’s so many native species of Ribes all over the wilderness that it was impossible to enforce. People in my area forage like crazy. But what got the ban lifted was a farmer looking to raise black currants. Here’s a little clip from an article I read: “There are now black currant growers in other states that have lifted the ban—including New York, Oregon, Illinois and Minnesota—who commercially grow the once-forbidden berries. The ban still remains on the books in Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Virginia and West Virginia. In some places, like Michigan, a permit is required to plant black currants anywhere in the state.”

  4. I'll be damned. I've been suggesting keeping peanuts around to snack on to people trying to quit smoking cigarettes, because it helped me when I quit smoking. I always thought it had more to do with the salt and just being another way to get out that oral fixation, but to hear peanuts possess a chemical that helps break addictions, is pretty awesome.

  5. Apple and blackcurrant pie: delicious !! Blackcurrant jam on scones with clotted cream: superb !!

  6. They were banned under the guise of poisonous reasons, when really, after hearing this, sounds more like these currents wouldn't benefit the big phama to come. So they were sure to give them a bad name… like Marijuana.

  7. Save the potato president…put some of these berries in his ice cream…..he like ice cream. FJB

  8. Hey, how about that, if we just let stuff grow wildly, it’s fine to eat and live on. No need for factories and farms, how about that? Who would of thought.

  9. But all the while, the US let in highly invasive plants like certain bamboo that absolutely took over where it was planted.
    The US govt turned an international problem into a statewide crisis…this is indicative of people being in positions in govt that have no business being where they are.
    .

  10. it's a standard flavour juice drink here in UK. shops are full of the stuff. we have in pie's, drinks, jelly (jello) yoghurt. beautiful. although I would recommend not giving you toddler a blackcurrant drink before bed as they may wet the bed.

  11. If it's wild…how the f would the govt know you have it?nobody following you on your goofy white ppl hikes…get real

  12. They don't want people to no , wild edibles, the benefits they give you is unbelievable, so called weeds in our garden well there Knott , people like your self are right up my street , my wife has gluecoma and has had it for forty five years carnt see a damn thing but I will try them berry's👍

  13. saw something about these on another chanel pretty sure they are no longer band. but something about them suposedly made other plants sick or something

  14. anybody else skip to the end to find out why it's banned? it is a lot faster than listening to this boring ass story

  15. This right here is misinformation. saying this plant is banned is like talking about banned books…they arent actually banned… stupid af

  16. Deliberately raising your ph of your urine is bad for your health. Kidney stones or liver disease and kidney failure. Hmm.

  17. It's not bad it's only the brainwashed people that doesn't use it because they listen to their government f*** government

  18. They outlawed it because of the health benefits.
    They don't want people to be healthy.
    They want people turning sick and get hooked on big pharma.
    Sad world.

  19. Wow pretty sure my mom told me not to eat those because they where poisonous and only birds could eat them.

  20. Utica acid is NOT the common cause of kidney stones, instead calcium oxalate is which is much more difficult to control and 90% of kidney stones

  21. I'm growing over 30 shrubs here in Canada for myself and family. Very delicious, grew up eating them. I actually like eating them fresh from the shrub, tho some people find them too sour or tart…. anyone else? 🙂

  22. ANYTHING that is good and healthy for the human body ALWAYS gets banned! Everything that keeps you sick and dependent on big pharma is promoted and pushed on the people!

  23. Guy on the corner- Yo… I got them currants son!!!
    Heroin junkie- lemme get some

  24. Funny…somehow we were suggestively taught all three of those were poisonous as kids growing up in the States.
