Sea Buckthorn Products

Update: The new batch of sea buckthorn berries is on its way to us. They will be packed on 6 June and will be available again from then. Dried organic sea buckthorn berries - unsweetened & from wild collection Why buy sea buckthorn berries? An analysis carried out by the retailer provided evidence of the sensational amounts of vital substances in sea buckthorn. The berries have a very high omega 7 fatty acid and B12 content. This high content is probably only found in Uzbek wild-collected organic sea buckthorn. Cultivated sea buckthorn generally has much lower levels and vitamin B12 in plant foods is very rare! Dried sea buckthorn contains most of the same vital substances and nutrients as fresh sea buckthorn, only in a more concentrated form because the water has been removed. These wild sea buckthorn berries have an intense, spicy and very tart flavour. They have a strong, intense light to dark orange colour. The flesh surrounds a stone, which is also dried. This results in a crispy consistency. What makes our wild organic sea buckthorn berries special? When fully ripe, the wild sea buckthorn berries are picked by hand, washed and gently dried in the sun. The drying process used is a very environmentally friendly solar drying method that is extremely gentle on the product. The organic sea buckthorn berries are - unsulphurised (in accordance with the EU Organic Regulation)- without artificial additives- without preservatives- without colourings Where do our organic sea buckthorn berries come from? Organic sea buckthorn berries from wild collection are very difficult to obtain. We were able to buy a batch from Ukraine. These wild sea buckthorn berries come from the Lviv region in western Ukraine, close to the Polish border. They are packed in 125g bags. How to integrate them into your daily diet? The dried organic sea buckthorn berries are suitable as a small, refreshing snack or as a varied ingredient in your power muesli. To round off the tart flavour, you can combine the sea buckthorn with nuts and sweet dried fruits such as sultanas. Or you can use a healthy sweetener such as agave, yacon or apple syrup.

Sea buckthorn - the berries richest in vitamin C in Europe Original juice means that this sea buckthorn juice contains no additives, is gently cold-pressed and is not pasteurised. This is not even necessary due to the naturally high vitamin C content. This makes this sea buckthorn juice one of the few in raw food quality! Further advantages of this unique product: Wild collections: In contrast to sea buckthorn from plantations, these berries from wild collections are significantly smaller and have a thicker skin. The vitamin and vital substance content is unique and incomparably high, approx. five times that of sea buckthorn from plantations. Local: The berries come from hard-to-reach areas in the Grisons Oberland and Valais and are processed by Margrit and Adolf Hartmann in Trans GR. Regular fresh pressings: After harvesting, some of the berries are frozen so that they can be pressed fresh regularly until the following summer. The wild sea buckthorn berries naturally tolerate the cold very well. Family business: The wild berries are harvested by hand by Mr and Mrs Hartmann. The whole bushes are cut off and rolled up in jute sacks. The two donkeys, Fiona and Meli, help with the transport down to the valley. Fair prices: At first glance, the price may seem high compared to other sea buckthorn juices. If you consider the origin and all the manual labour, the price is more than justified. Hartmanns do not maximise profits and have not increased prices for over 20 years. Harvested from wild sea buckthorn bushes in the Swiss Alps The orange berries of the sea buckthorn bush, which are collected in the remote Swiss mountain valleys, are highly regarded by experts. The vital substance content is very high, especially vitamin C. The vitamin C content has been repeatedly tested by the manufacturer in Swiss test laboratories. These revealed vitamin C values of 18000 to 22000 mg/kg juice. Usual values for good plantation varieties are 3000 to 5000 mg/kg juice. This is 36 to 44 times more than that of fresh orange juice. The richness of all its ingredients is unrivalled. More than 12 vitamins: A, B1, B2, B5, B6, B12, C, E, F, H, P, PP, glycosides, flavonoids, saponins, omega-3, -6 and -9 fatty acids, fruit acids and mineral trace elements are contained in ripe sea buckthorn berries. Vitamin C is most effective in natural combination with other vital substances. Sea buckthorn juice also contains sea buckthorn pulp oil. Sea buckthorn juice in raw food quality The whole berries are pressed very gently at low temperatures. The very high acid content - due to the high vitamin C content - and the clean processing mean that the juice does not need to be pasteurised and can be kept for at least 6 months. This preserves all the vital substances. The juice is very refreshing thanks to its vitamin C content and strong sea buckthorn flavour. The high vitamin P content supports the stability and absorption of vitamin C. Harvesting and processing the berries to make sea buckthorn juice The berries, which grow wild at around 1000 metres above sea level, are harvested by Margrit and Adolf Hartmann by hand in rough terrain in the Valais and Grisons Oberland. Compared to cultivated plants, these berries are smaller but richer in vitamins. Harvest time is between August and October. The berries and thorny branches are cut off with electric shears and placed in large jute sacks. The two donkeys "Fiona" and "Meli" help to carry the heavy sacks down into the valley. All the sea buckthorn berries are processed on the Hartmann couple's farm in Trans im Domleschg. In the comprehensive report by nau.ch Sanddorn - Das Alpengold aus Graubünden (nau.ch) and in the 5-minute TeleZüri report "Heimisch exotisch" from 5 August 2020, you can see how the harvest takes place: Heimisch exotisch: Sea buckthorn - TeleZüri (telezueri.ch). Sea buckthorn juice or syrup For people who don't like this completely unsweetened original juice, we recommend sea buckthorn syrup, which is pleasantly sweetened with fructose and birnel. The sea buckthorn fruit content of the syrup is still 60%. Note: The berries are wild fruits and are grown without pesticides or agrochemicals. However, due to the very large harvesting area, organic certification is not financially viable. Use of Swiss sea buckthorn juice Sea buckthorn juice tastes best on its own, slightly sweetened or added to water, fruit juices, tea, yoghurt, muesli and desserts. Take 2 to 5 tablespoons a day, depending on your personal requirements. Storage As the sea buckthorn juice is unpasteurised, we generally recommend storing it in a cool place. This is the best way to preserve the vitamins and fresh flavour. We deliberately only order small batches from the producer every few weeks so that we can offer freshly pressed sea buckthorn juice on a regular basis. Size variations Sea buckthorn juice is available in a 5dl bottle for CHF 28 and in an inexpensive 7.5dl bottle for CHF 39. A quantity discount of 5% is granted for orders of 3 or more.
