Join me for a series focusing on the how wild-edible plants can impact our bodies, and how foraging can impact our ecosystems! In each episode, we'll discuss how to identify the plant, where it grows, any ecosystem roles it possesses, how to properly forage/harvest the plant, and finally, how to prepare it to maximize its flavor and herbal benefits.

In this episode, I talk about the Autumn Olive, what it means to be an invasive plant and how to mitigate invasive species spread, the benefits of lycopene, a carotenoid found in their fruits, and how to  prepare this super vibrant and bright tasting fruit!
