Foraging Autumn Olive with Adam Haritan (Learn Your Land)

Autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata) is a deciduous shrub whose fruits can be harvested and eaten from late summer through early autumn. In this video, I discuss its key identifying features, its edibility, medicinal benefits, ecological role, and more.

After watching this video, I realized that Autumn Olive is absolutely everywhere around where I live in PA. They taste great and my son loves them.

Just found your channel. If you didn't already know, a small amount of gelatin (about a teaspoon dissolved in a small amount of water per quart of juice) can remove most of the tannins from rough autumn olive berries. it always seems like the worst tasting ones have the largest and most fruit. just make sure the juice is very cold, dump it in, and wait for it to settle out as sediment. I can make anyone like this fruit with the de-tannined juice. makes excellent pectin candies!

Some of the best vids on youtube! Clear, concise, beautifully produced, and above all your spirit is from a much higher plane than most. And the kicker is it's all in my backyard too. I'm elated to have discovered you just recently. Keep up the wonderful work!

It's a shame that people don't make more use of this plant. Thanks for another informative video. I especially like the nutrition breakdown you provide on your videos.

Thank you for including info on the scientific evidence for this plant! My daughters and I have enjoyed these fruits since they were toddlers. We love introducing friends to this plant and watching them pucker up when they try it for the first time. Truly enjoy your videos. Well Done!

You are very systematic and still entertaining. You’re like a tour guide, in a good way. Look forward to meeting you someday.

Thanks for another great video, Adam! We picked lots of Autumn Olives a few days ago. I think we might make some ice cream and sorbet with some of them. 😊

I always have confidence in your information. It's clear your knowledge is solid and far-ranging. So many YouTube videos covering similar topics leave me wanting to do my own research, but your information is reliable.
