đż The Hidden Story of Chufa: The Ancient Superfood Declared a âWeedâ
Inspired by âs powerful look at how modern wheat lost its nourishment, I went deeper â and found a living example of natureâs generosity being silenced for profit.
This isn't just about bread. Itâs about a plant so perfectly suited to humans that it was labeled a âweedâ to keep it out of our hands.
Iâm talking about Chufa (Tiger Nuts) â a gluten-free, drought-resistant tuber that sustained civilizations for thousands of years.
Why was it nearly erased?
Because it needs no chemicals, enriches the soil, and canât be patented â a direct challenge to an industry built on control.
#### đş Two perspectives that tell one bigger story:
1. Mikeâs essential watch:
Why Medieval Bread Was A SuperfoodâŚ
2. The revealing follow-up:
The Superfood They Turned Into a Weed

#### đŹ Your voice matters:
- Have you ever grown or foraged Chufa / Tiger Nuts?
- What other resilient plants do you think were pushed aside because they couldnât be controlled or sold?
- How does this shift the way you see whatâs labeled a âweedâ versus a âcropâ?
This is more than history â itâs a reminder that real food sovereignty begins when we reclaim the stories, seeds, and soil that industries tried to bury.
Iâd love to hear your thoughts below.
