Sea Buckthorn Dried Whole Osmotic Berries

Latin Name:   Hippophae Rhamnoides L.

Origin Country:   Serbia

Hippophae Rhamnoides L., commonly known as sea buckthorn, seaberry, or sandthorn, is a deciduous shrub belonging to the Elaeagnaceae family. Native to Europe and Asia, this resilient plant is recognized for its silvery-green leaves and clusters of vibrant orange-yellow berries that have been traditionally appreciated for their nutritional and botanical properties.

Sea buckthorn berries are considered a remarkable superfruit due to their naturally rich composition of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids. Our osmotic sea buckthorn berries are gently dehydrated using an osmotic process, where natural fruit dehydration occurs without aggressive heat treatment. This helps maintain the original structure, flavour, and valuable components of the fruit. The berries are sugar-free and preservative-free, offering a naturally refreshing taste with a unique flavour profile between tart lemon and sweet apricot, accompanied by a pleasant apple-like aroma similar to cider.
