Sea buckthorn is a deciduous shrub that is native to Asia and Europe - and of course to Finland. It is known for its distinctive, bright orange berries and its ability to thrive in harsh, coastal environments. The shrub has long been used in traditional medicine, and its berries are a rich source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin E, and carotenoids. In recent years, sea buckthorn has gained popularity for its health benefits, and its juice and oil are commonly used as dietary supplements.
