About the product
Our organic sea buckthorn powder is made from aromatic sea buckthorn berries that are wild-harvested in the sun-drenched region around Samarkand. Small-scale Uzbek farmers harvest the berries by hand. They are then gently air-dried and ground, together with the seeds, into a whole-fruit powder. Unsweetened, unoiled and free from additives.
Sea buckthorn powder has an intense, tangy, fruity flavour with a fresh, slightly tart note. As a whole-fruit powder, it may have a subtle, natural graininess depending on how it is used. The flavour is particularly harmonious when combined with sweet fruits (e.g. banana, mango, apple) or mild base ingredients such as yoghurt, porridge or oat drink.
Sea buckthorn is traditionally regarded as a nutrient-rich berry. Depending on the harvest and processing method, it provides vitamin C as well as phytochemicals (e.g. carotenoids and polyphenols). Sea buckthorn berries also naturally contain various fatty acids, although the fat content in whole berries varies depending on the variety and the proportion of pulp.
As part of a balanced diet, dried sea buckthorn berries make an interesting addition – especially if you want to add a touch of fruity tartness to your daily routine.
- Smoothies: 1–2 teaspoons per serving; ideal with banana, mango or apple for a balanced acidity.
- Muesli, porridge, granola: stir in or use as a topping.
- Yoghurt/quark (or plant-based alternatives): For a fruity, tangy flavour.
- Drinks: Stir into water, juice or tea (ideally balanced with a little sweetness from fruit or honey/alternatives).
- Baking & snacks: In bars, energy balls, pancakes or muffins (use sparingly, as it is very flavourful).
Sea buckthorn grows in Uzbekistan in wild harvesting areas around Samarkand. It is harvested by hand by smallholder families. Wild harvesting is regulated by the state; a fee is paid per kilogramme, which also helps to protect the areas.
Further processing takes place entirely in Uzbekistan: after harvesting, the berries are gently air-dried, sorted, ground into whole fruit poweder and packaged. Processing is carried out by Pakka’s partner, Silk Road Organik Foods, which works closely with smallholder cooperatives along the ancient Silk Road, thereby boosting local economic activity and creating jobs in structurally disadvantaged regions.
The organic sea buckthorn powder is produced entirely in Uzbekistan – right in the country of origin of the raw material. Pakka deliberately focuses on direct trade without middlemen. In this way, we strengthen the entire local value chain and ensure fair incomes, high-quality products and sustainable economic growth in the region.
For every product sold, 5 centimes goes to the Pakka Foundation to support projects in the countries of origin. More info: www.pakkafoundation.org
