Argousier (Sea Buckthorn)

The little berry with lots of vitamins!

These small orange berries and their parent spiky shrub can be found on the mountain sides of the Champsaur valley. They are exceptionally rich in vitamins (vitamin C particularly but also A E and B) probably as a result of the strong sun and altitude. They contain 30 times more vitamin C than oranges.

Today you can taste argousier as a juice, a cordial, a jam or you can just pick them yourself off the shrubs. All totally organic and natural!
