About this snack
Seabuckthorn — *burtse* locally — grows on thorned shrubs along cold riverbeds and up onto the Deosai plains. Picking it is genuinely unpleasant work: the thorns are long, the berries are soft, and there is no way to speed it up.
The taste is a shock the first time. Sharply sour, almost citrus, with a bitter orange edge behind it. It is not a snack berry, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise.
It is drunk as a hot infusion through the mountain winter, and there is a long-standing local belief in it as a cold remedy. It is one of the most vitamin-C-dense fruits anywhere.
Ways to enjoy it
- Steep a teaspoon in hot water for 5 minutes, sweeten with honey — the classic winter drink.
- Blend a small pinch into a smoothie for a bright, sharp lift.
- Grind and use as a souring agent in place of lemon.
- Start with less than you think. It is strong.
Storage & freshness
Airtight, cool, dark, away from light. 10 months. Light is what degrades the vitamin C.

A closer look
Good things to know.
01
Nobody farms this
There are no seabuckthorn plantations here. Every berry is picked from wild shrubs by people who know where they grow.
02
Dried gently
Dried below 45 °C. Vitamin C degrades with heat, so speeding this up would defeat the purpose.
03
Sour by nature
No sugar-coating, literally. If a seabuckthorn product tastes pleasant on its own, something was added.
