About the Product
Widely spread throughout Europe and Asia, particularly in northern Europe and on the coasts of Rumania, Mongolia and China. It is a shrub reaching 2-4 m in height but develops a tree-like appearance as only the upper buds sprout and branch. The leaves are narrow and lance shaped with the upper side a silver-brown colour. The berries are a yellow-orange colour and are found clustered on two year old branches to create bunches of fruit. The fruit is often called Siberian pineapple and represents one of the more important vitamin sources for people living in the cold, long winter regions of the world.
A thick red oil, it can be semi-solid at normal room temperatures.
