Sea Buckthorn

Sea buckthorn, also called Sallow Thorn, is a willowlike shrub growing to about 2.5 m high with small globose, orange-yellow fruits only about about 8 mm in diameter. It’s commonly found on sand dunes along coasts of Great Britain in the mountains of Europe and Asia.
The berries are edible and nutritious, though astringent, sour, and oily unless 'bletted' and mixed as a drink with sweeter substances such as apple or grape juice.
When the berries are pressed, the juice separates into three layers: on top is a thick, orange cream; in the middle, a layer containing sea buckthorn's characteristic high content of saturated and polyunsaturated fats; and the bottom layer is sediment and juice. The upper two layers contain fat sources applicable for cosmetic purposes and can be processed for skin creams and liniments, whereas the bottom layer can be used for edible products such as syrup. The fruit can be used to make pies, jams, lotions, teas, fruit wines, and liquors.
