What is sea buckthorn?
Sea buckthorn is a shrub belonging to the olive family native to China and Russia and whose cultivation has been very well established in Quebec for several years.
The plant produces a bright orange fruit that has a slight citrus taste. This fruit has many benefits, the main one being that it is an excellent source of omega 7.
Sea buckthorn can be consumed in many ways: in tea, in juice, in jelly, on your oatmeal, in a smoothie... Sea buckthorn products are practically endless!
