sea buckthorn
Tart coastal berry
Sea buckthorn is a thorny shrub native to Europe and Asia, prized for its bright orange berries that grow in dense clusters along its branches.
The berries are exceptionally rich in vitamins and have a tart, citrusy flavor, making them popular in juices, jams, and health supplements.
The plant thrives in poor soils and harsh climates, often used for erosion control and land reclamation.
Sea buckthorn oil, extracted from the berries and seeds, appears in skincare products for its purported healing properties.
