The hilling ability of the sea buckthorn (oblepiha) became well knowing during the last years. Oblepiha enriches nutrient levels in soil. Its berries are rich in vitamin C (a single sea buckthorn berry has 50 times the vitamin C of an entire orange. Along with vitamin C the sea buckthorn has chock-full of omega-3 fatty acids and carotene, which helps with the conversion of nutrients to vitamin A, and gives the berries their colour.

If you passing Siberia during September you can have the fresh buckthorn for 1 $ for 250 gr.
