FROZEN SEA BUCKTHORN BERRIES UPDATE
We have been harvesting the 2024 Latvian varieties – Sunny and Goldrain as the first o0f this year’s new harvest. The stock is limited and we look forward to this being added to in late August by our german varieties, Habego and leikora, both of which are looking really good on he bushes at the moment.
I am afraid that we are stopping supplying 1kg packs of sea buckthorn as they tend to thaw out in transit.
I have been using the Cool Box solutions packaging over this year which has worked well but as temperatures increase during the summer the system is not as efficient as the old polystyrene packaging I used to use. It is not ideal as the cardboard box system is better for recycling, but it is important the berries get to you in as good a condition as the courier dispatch service can offer. So I am going to re-start using polystyrene and I will revert to the cardboard system in the autumn.
Please note that I dropped prices last year, but with energy/fuel costs etc I am bringing them back to where they were in 2022.
Thank you so much for your interest in sea buckthorn.

Sea Buckthorn for Health
Sea buckthorn is well known for its health benefits and the berries contain over 190 different micro-nutrients including vitamins, minerals, omega oils (including 3,6,7 and 9) and polyphenols. They are also packed with fibre.
The berries in their frozen form contain all 190 nutrients so they are good for all, especially:
IMMUNE SYSTEM – Frozen berries are RICH in Vitamin C levels. Indeed, they have 10x the amount of an orange! The berries are frozen quickly after harvest so there is minimum nutrient loss and its antioxidants also preserve its Vitamin C levels. (if not frozen, Vitamin C reduces by about 30% after 3 months storage – but still high even then!) Antioxidants, Vitamins A & E are also very important for good immunity.
GUT HEALTH – Fibre & Antioxidants in the whole berry nurture our gut bacteria which have many health benefits from supporting a strong immune system, helping our mood, reducing allergy and protection from chronic inflammation.
SKIN HEALTH –
Omega 7 keeps skin hydrated, increases skin cell turnover and protects against bacterial infection.
Omega 6 boosts blood circulation to the skin, reduces inflammation in the skin and helps its elasticity
Antioxidants for cell repair
Carotenoids (used to make Vit A) and Vit E are both key nutrients for skin health (they have an antioxidant function and help hydration)
IRON ABSORPTION – Vitamin C, Vitamin B2 and Vitamin A all help to absorb iron from plants as they convert it into a form we can absorb more easily.
Versatile Flavour
Sea Buckthorn is a very versatile flavour and complements a range of different foods, from chocolate to fish, salads and meats.

These intriguing little berries, not only punch above their weight nutritionally, but are a beautiful vibrant colour and have a versatile and fresh flavour that works equally well in both sweet and savoury dishes!

The quality of the berries is simply the best! I’ve been eating these berries all my childhood and never had any colds. Just want to strengthen and enhance my immune system as these berries contain over 190 nutrients and phytonutrients, they also have gut repairing properties which help to keep your digestive system healthy. I like to make jam (keto style), jellies, sauces with them, tea or just eat them frozen by themselves or sprinkle on salads. I will be ordering more as the service and speed of delivery are simply outstanding.
