Sea buckthorn powder

Sea Buckthorn  (Hippophae rhamnoides)

The bright orange-yellow berries from the coastal regions of Finland grow in a spiky bush which makes picking them a little challenging. Even though they require a lot of sunlight to grow, the best time to harvest is after the first frost.

Add nutrition to yogurt, porridge, smoothies, baking or use as a decoration in desserts, ice creams, spice up your cereals, salads, and dressings with our powerful berry powders.

Sea buckthorn is rich in dietary fiber, vitamins A, B1, B2, C, D, E, K and even vitamin B12, as well as potassium, copper and manganese. Its seeds contain essential fatty acids: omega 3, 6, 7 and 9. Sea buckthorn provides health benefits thanks to a joint effect of a great amount of these nutrients together with antioxidants, carotenoids, plant sterols, omega fatty acids, and an extremely high content of vitamin C: less than 50 grams of fresh sea buckthorn berries satisfies the recommended daily allowance of 75 mg of vitamin C. Sea buckthorn, and cranberry, have the highest levels of flavonols among berries, mainly quercetin.
