Information about sea buckthorn:
This apple mead is brewed with wild sea buckthorn harvested in natural areas around Roskilde and with bitter green walnut extract from Snoremark. Buckthorns are distributed throughout most of the northern hemisphere from Canada to China. The plant has been known in Denmark since the Ice Age. Like the walnut, it is part of the early foragers' diet. The small orange-yellow berries are packed with vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants and are considered a superfood. A sea buckthorn berry contains the same amount of vitamin C as an orange. In China, sea buckthorn was used for stomach ulcers, heart problems and high blood pressure. It is also widely used in the cosmetics industry. Sea buckthorn leaves were used as fodder for racehorses. It is believed that their high protein content should give a glowing mane. The Latin name Hippophaë means shining horses. According to Greek mythology, Zeus fed his winged horse Pegasus with spur thorn leaves to make it fly. And maybe there is something to it. Enjoy a glass of Snoremark's Apple Seeds with Ocean Sound and Walnut almost to die for.
The jury of the "Local Food of the Year 2016" competition stated:
