Sea buckthorn on the hillside
With the arrival of Cold Dew , it is time for sea buckthorn to mature again. Sea buckthorn, we Shanxi people call her sour . It can be seen everywhere in mountainous areas with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters.
She likes light, is cold-resistant, heat-resistant, wind-sand and drought-resistant. Strong adaptability to soil. It is an excellent tree species that prevents wind and sand, maintains water and soil, and improves soil.
Large areas of wild sea buckthorn forest
sea buckthorn can be used mainly for fruits, and the surface of the fruit can be juiced, that is, sea buckthorn juice , and beverages can be prepared. Seeds can extract grease.
sea buckthorn is currently the precious economic forest tree species with the largest variety of natural vitamins in the world. Its vitamin C content is much higher than fresh dates and kiwi fruit , so it is known as a treasure house of natural vitamins. It is reported that every 100g of sea buckthorn juice contains vitamin C 500mg-400mg, vitamin E 250mg-400mg, vitamin B10.05mg-0.3mg, vitamin B20.03, g-0.15, g, vitamin B120.2mg-0.88mg, vitamin K compound 115, and P vitamin 20mg-350mg.
Why is sea buckthorn fruit so sour? Because the high content of vitamin C is also called L-ascorbic acid, the scientific name is 2,3,5,6-tetrahydroxy-2-hexene-4-lactone. The structure of vitamin C is similar to that of glucose . It is a polyhydroxy compound. The two adjacent enol hydroxy groups at the second and third positions in the molecule are very easy to dissociate and release hydrogen ions, so they have the properties of acid. The part that makes up the structure is acidic and is metabolized in the body to decompose into oxalic acid, so the taste is sour.
Sea buckthorn fruit close-up
Because the sea buckthorn branches are full of long thorns, it is very difficult to pick sea buckthorn fruit. The sea buckthorn drink I drank in the early days had a little bitter taste because the branches were not picked up clean when pressing the juice. Now, using the frozen method to separate the branches and fruits, basically eliminate the branches in the fruits. The squeezed juice is very pure and the taste is good.

Let’s talk about sea buckthorn oil . Sea buckthorn oil is the oil in sea buckthorn seeds and is difficult to press, so it can only be extracted using solvents. In the early days, sea buckthorn oil was generally extracted using petroleum ether. Due to the residual harmful substances and the extraction temperature was relatively high, some biologically active substances were destroyed. Now, normal temperature carbon dioxide supercritical extraction is generally used. This is like Professor Tu Youyou extracts artemisinin , and high temperature destroys many biological activities. So sea buckthorn oil is a very good health supplement. Sea buckthorn oil is a precious natural oil extracted from the fruits of natural plants sea buckthorn. In addition to unsaturated fatty acids, sea buckthorn oil also contains more than 100 biologically active substances such as flavonoids, vitamins, phytosterols, , trace elements and α-tocopherol. Sea buckthorn oil is the essence of sea buckthorn. Medical clinical studies have shown that flavonoids in sea buckthorn can reduce hyperlipidemia and soften blood vessels. It also reduces low-density lipoprotein, increases high-density lipoprotein , clears blood vessel wall deposits, and phospholipids can promote lipid transport and clearance, and accelerates the metabolism of triglyceride in the blood. Prevent and treat the formation of atherosclerosis. Since sea buckthorn contains a large amount of amino acids , organic acids and other nutrients, it can promote the biosynthesis of gastric acid and stimulate the secretion of gastric juice. Therefore, sea buckthorn has the functions of eliminating food and eliminating stagnation, strengthening the spleen and stomach, and relieving the liver and regulating qi. It has excellent effects on indigestion, abdominal distension and pain, gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers, enteritis, , and chronic constipation.
I often have sea buckthorn oil capsules at home. When my child was a child, he often had oral ulcers. Heared the capsule with a needle and applied it to the wound quickly.
