High in the mountains of China, where earth meets sky, grows a small pungent berry with an orange hue and a scent like pineapple. Revered as a "holy fruit", seabuckthorn berries were prized by Chinese emperors for their restorative benefits.
Legend holds that Genghis Khan fed these nutrition-packed berries to his soldiers and horses for strength before battle and to keep them healthy afterward. In fact, the herb?s genus name Hippophae is Latin for ?shining horse.
A key player in traditional Chinese medicine, the seabuckthorn berry is as important today as it was centuries ago. In 1977, the fruit was incorporated into the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. In 1988, seabuckthorn sports drinks were designated the official beverage of Chinese athletes at the Seoul Olympic Games.
