Why 90 g Comes in a 200 ml Jar

Dried sea buckthorn berries are lightweight, and their final weight depends on the amount of moisture removed during drying. The 200 ml jar provides convenient storage for the 90 g portion.

The amount of fresh fruit needed to produce 90 g of dried berries varies with the moisture content of the fresh harvest and the final moisture level after drying. We avoid presenting a fixed fresh-to-dried ratio as a guaranteed figure.

Why choose a glass jar?

The glass jar allows you to see the berries and store them conveniently in your kitchen. When tightly closed and kept in a dry place, it helps protect the product from moisture and unwanted odours.

Sea Buckthorn and Vitamin C

Sea buckthorn berries are known for their naturally occurring vitamin C and other plant compounds, including carotenoids and flavonoids. Their nutritional composition can vary depending on the variety, growing conditions, harvest and processing method.

Drying can reduce vitamin C levels because this vitamin is sensitive to heat, oxygen and storage conditions. The amount retained depends on the drying process and cannot be determined reliably from the method alone.

At CraftOil, we dry our berries in our own drying cabinets and pay attention to the drying conditions. However, we do not claim that all vitamin C is preserved or provide an exact vitamin C value without a laboratory analysis of the relevant batch.

If you need verified nutritional information for a particular batch, please contact us to ask whether laboratory data are available.

What Makes Sea Buckthorn Berries Special?

Sea buckthorn has a distinctive nutritional and sensory profile:

• Vitamin C: naturally present in the fruit; the amount remaining after drying varies.

• Carotenoids: plant pigments that contribute to the berries’ characteristic orange colour.

• Vitamin E and vitamin K: naturally occurring in sea buckthorn fruit.

• Flavonoids and other plant compounds: part of the berry’s natural composition.

• Organic acids: contribute to the characteristic tart flavour.

• Natural fruit oils: sea buckthorn fruit and seeds contain lipids, with the composition depending on the plant material.

These are general characteristics of sea buckthorn, not guaranteed quantities for every serving of this dried product. For exact nutritional values, refer to laboratory-tested data where available.

How to Use Dried Sea Buckthorn Berries

The berries have a bright, tangy flavour that works well in both sweet and savoury recipes.

1. Sea Buckthorn Tea

Add approximately one tablespoon of dried berries to a cup or teapot. Pour over hot water and allow to infuse for 10–15 minutes. For a gentler preparation, let freshly boiled water cool slightly before pouring it over the berries.

You can gently crush the berries before steeping to help release their flavour. Strain the drink if preferred, or eat the softened berries.

2. Compote and Fruit Drinks

Add dried sea buckthorn berries to homemade fruit drinks or compote. For a fresher aroma, add them towards the end of cooking or after removing the pot from the heat, then allow the berries to infuse.

3. Granola, Porridge and Breakfast Bowls

Mix a small amount into granola, oatmeal, muesli or yoghurt. Combine with nuts, seeds, dried apples or raisins to balance the berries’ tartness.

4. Baking

Use sea buckthorn berries in muffins, cakes, bread and homemade fruit bars. Soak the berries briefly in water before adding them to dough if you prefer a softer texture.

5. Sauces for Meat and Game

Sea buckthorn’s tart flavour makes it a good ingredient for sauces served with roasted meat, poultry or game. Combine with apples, onions or a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity.

6. Smoothies

Add a small amount to a smoothie with banana, apple or another naturally sweet fruit. Start with a little and adjust to taste.

7. Homemade Syrups and Infusions

Dried berries can be used in homemade culinary infusions and syrups. Follow a suitable recipe and use clean equipment and safe food-handling practices.

8. Dessert Decoration

The bright orange berries can add colour and a fruity accent to desserts, cakes and breakfast bowls.

How much should you use?

Start with one tablespoon and adjust to your taste and recipe. Dried sea buckthorn has an intense tart flavour, so a small quantity can be enough.

Is Dried Sea Buckthorn a Medicine?

No. Dried sea buckthorn berries are a food product, not a medicine.

Sea buckthorn is valued as a fruit with naturally occurring vitamins and plant compounds, but dried berries should not be promoted as a treatment for colds, ulcers, burns, cancer or other diseases. A sea buckthorn drink may be an enjoyable part of your diet, but it does not replace medical care or prescribed treatment.

Who Should Take Care When Eating Sea Buckthorn?

Sea buckthorn berries have a naturally acidic taste. If acidic foods aggravate your reflux, stomach discomfort or other digestive symptoms, try a small amount or ask a healthcare professional whether they are suitable for you.

Avoid the product if you have a known allergy to sea buckthorn. If you have a medical condition, follow a medically advised diet, or are unsure whether the product is suitable for you or a child, seek appropriate professional advice.

For young children, take particular care with whole berries and their seeds. Choose an age-appropriate preparation and supervise eating.

CraftOil Quality and Drying Process

Dried in Our Own Drying Cabinets

CraftOil uses its own drying cabinets and controls the drying process rather than simply repacking a finished product of unknown origin.

Low-Temperature Drying

We use a low-temperature drying approach intended to help preserve the berries’ natural colour, aroma and flavour. The nutritional composition of the finished product still depends on the raw material and processing conditions.

Whole Berries

The product consists of whole dried sea buckthorn berries rather than a powder or a ground berry mixture. Natural variation in size, colour and texture can occur.

The ingredients are simple: dried sea buckthorn berries. No added sugar, syrup, oil or preservatives.

Product Date on the Label

The relevant drying or packing date is shown on the label so you can check the product information.

Convenient Glass Packaging

The 200 ml glass jar is practical for kitchen storage and allows you to see the product inside.

How to Store Dried Sea Buckthorn Berries

• Keep the jar tightly closed.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

• Protect the berries from moisture and strong external odours.

• Always use a clean, dry spoon or utensil.

Moisture can soften dried berries and increase the risk of spoilage. If you notice condensation, unusual stickiness, a musty smell or visible mould, do not eat the product.

Follow the storage instructions and best-before date on the label. Do not assume that a product is safe solely because it looks or smells normal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the net weight 90 g in a 200 ml jar?

Dried berries are lightweight, and volume does not directly indicate weight. The jar is selected to accommodate the 90 g product portion conveniently.

How much fresh sea buckthorn is needed to make 90 g of dried berries?

The amount varies depending on the moisture content of the fresh berries and the final moisture level after drying. A single fixed ratio should not be treated as guaranteed for every batch.

Does dried sea buckthorn contain vitamin C?

Sea buckthorn naturally contains vitamin C, but drying and storage can reduce its level. The amount in a particular batch can only be confirmed with appropriate testing.

Can I pour boiling water over the berries?

You can use hot water to prepare an infusion. Letting the water cool slightly before pouring may be preferable if you want to limit additional heat exposure, but it does not guarantee a specific vitamin C content.

Can dried sea buckthorn help treat a cold?

Dried sea buckthorn berries are a food, not a treatment for colds or other illnesses. A warm fruit infusion can be enjoyed as a beverage but should not replace medical care.

Does the product contain added sugar?

No added sugar or syrup. The ingredient is dried sea buckthorn berries only. The fruit itself naturally contains sugars.

Can I use the berries in cooking?

Yes. They can be used in tea, compote, granola, porridge, baking, smoothies, sauces and dessert decoration.

How should I store the product after opening?

Close the jar tightly after each use and keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Follow the storage instructions and date on the label.
