Скачать или смотреть Anthocyanins: Ancient Plant Pigments

This channel explores anthocyanins, heritage seeds, and ethnobotanical knowledge through biology, history, and cultural preservation.

Anthocyanins are not decorative plant pigments.
They are adaptive compounds produced by plants under stress — cold, ultraviolet exposure, drought, and poor soil.

Across the world, ancient cultures independently preserved dark-pigmented crops:
Blue maize, Black carrots, Indigenous plants like Red amaranth and Purple oregano, Ancient beans, Dark, and Medicinal roots.

These crops appeared again and again in environments where survival mattered.

In this video, we explore:
• What anthocyanins are and why plants produce them
• Why dark crops are common in ancient agricultural systems
• How Indigenous and isolated cultures preserved resilient seed lines
• The biological patterns shared across geography and time

Amaranth Heirlooms documents what survives — the plants, the seeds, and the knowledge carried through generations.

This is not wellness content.
It is not trend-based nutrition.
It is the study of resilience, adaptation, and preservation.
