Sea buckthorn is an amazing berry, which, due to its healing properties and appearance, received the beautiful name “golden queen”. The amber-yellow fruits have a rather tart and unusual taste. Therefore, they are not consumed in their pure form. At home, healthy raw materials are usually frozen, dried and processed into various drinks (fruit drinks, decoctions, compotes, etc.), jams, preserves. This article provides several accessible recipes for making sea buckthorn juice, including in combination with other berries and fruits (for example, apples, pears, grapes, apricots). The main properties of the drink, recommendations for use, contraindications - all this is briefly outlined below.
How and when to eat persimmon?
Autumn is the time when persimmons appear on the shelves of markets and shops.
How and when to eat persimmon, this healthy berry? If you always want something sweet, persimmons are perfect. This fruit has a low glycemic index, which helps provide energy in the body rather than calories. You can read about the benefits of persimmon here.
Unfortunately, persimmons are available to us only a few months a year. Therefore, many people dry it and make jam to prolong the pleasure. Of course, vitamins remain in dried persimmons, but not as much as in fresh ones.
Beneficial properties of sea buckthorn juice
The high content of vitamin C and carotene is the main feature of the drink. Thanks to this, when used regularly, it has a fairly noticeable and rapid anti-inflammatory effect (especially in winter when suffering from colds). Sea buckthorn juice contains vitamins, organic compounds, protein, and tannins. Due to the high concentration of fatty acids, the calorie content of freshly squeezed raw materials (despite the average level of sugar content) reaches 82 Kcal per 100 g. It is advisable to consume sea buckthorn every day. But because of the tart taste, it is the juice or decoction that is more pleasant. The most important factor is systematicity. The approximate duration of treatment is 3 weeks (the usual dose of juice is ½ glass in the morning or evening after meals), then you should take a break for 7 days, and then repeat the course of therapy.
You can include this healthy natural product (berries, drinks, jam, etc.) in your diet for both treatment and prevention purposes. The form of application of the healing drink can be ordinary (internal administration in certain doses) and specific (external lotions, douching, rinsing). We list the main diseases for which sea buckthorn juice is recommended:
- female “problems” (douching for cystitis, infections, postpartum injuries, erosion);
- skin diseases (herpes, allergies, eczema, burn injuries);
- haemorrhoids;
- cough (treatment is especially successful when combining sea buckthorn juice with honey);
- liver problems (cleansing by drinking a cocktail with;
- benign tumors (in the initial stage);
- gastric diseases (gastritis, pre-ulcerative condition).
But despite all the usefulness and uniqueness of the juice from the “golden queen”, some patients are not recommended to use it.

Who is contraindicated for sea buckthorn juice?
First of all, allergy sufferers need to be very careful, especially those with carotene intolerance. A high concentration of this substance, as well as essential oils, can cause skin rashes, itching, and redness of the mucous membranes. To avoid unexpected effects, start using small doses, gradually increasing them to the required proportions. Due to its choleretic properties, the drink should not be taken in case of hyperacid gastritis, high acidity and stomach (and duodenal) ulcers, or systematic diarrhea. For the same reason, juice is contraindicated in the acute stage of cholecystitis and pancreatitis. The decision to include berry products in the diet should be abandoned by people who have a hereditary predisposition to cancer. If there are no contraindications for use, you can make sea buckthorn juice at home. Then this healing elixir will always be at hand.
Fresh persimmon.
Before eating, fresh persimmons should be washed well and the entire surface inspected. In principle, persimmons are not peeled. But if you notice dark spots, you should cut them out or peel part of the peel. You may have come across persimmons with an astringent taste. In this case, eating fruit with peel will be especially unpleasant. Next, cut out the stalk. In this part, around the stalk, very often the persimmon is not ripe and hard. Therefore, you can safely cut it off.
We take out the cut out core. And then, if you look at it, the persimmon has four guides. It is literally divided into four parts. Therefore, it is very easy to cut persimmons into four parts. This is how you can divide persimmons at home.
In general, it is best to eat two or three fruits a day. It is advisable closer to lunch, when a person’s energy level drops and when there is less sugar in the body. If we talk about harmfulness, then in this case persimmons should not be consumed by those who are prone to allergies and those with diabetes. This fruit is not recommended to be combined with water, milk or any other product.
Collection and preparation of berries
Before you make sea buckthorn juice for the winter, you need to know when and how to properly prepare the raw materials. Some recommendations are given below. Harvesting times depend on the berry variety:
- Early sea buckthorn. The fruits ripen in early August, although the highest concentration of nutrients appears in them only towards the end of the month.
- Late sea buckthorn. Depending on the climatic zone and weather conditions, the favorable time for collecting ripened berries ranges from late September to mid-October.
Ripe fruits of bright color with a dense consistency. They easily come off the branches. If the raw material is intended for the production of oil, then the berries need to be “exposed” without being picked from the branches for about two weeks. Some of the berries can be removed along with the stalks, from which a healthy tea for high blood pressure is then brewed. To avoid pricking, choose the direction of removing the bunches from the base to the end. After the first frost, the “shaking” method is suitable, when a large canvas is spread under the tree and the trunk is tapped with a stick. Crystallized berries crumble easily. Sort the prepared raw materials, removing spoiled fruits, remove them from the branches and fill with warm water. After this, rinse several times in cold water and drain in a colander.

Gardeners' tricks for a good harvest
Every amateur vegetable grower has his own secrets for growing tomatoes, many of them are universal.
Before planting, the bed needs to be fertilized; both conventional fertilization methods and pre-planting of green manure on the future tomato bed are perfect for tomatoes. You can sow mustard in early spring, and when it sprouts, cultivate it and plant tomato seedlings, and you can put a handful of ash and a handful of superphosphate in the holes before planting.
Tomato variety Persimmon - pictured
Tomatoes do not tolerate either an excess of moisture or a lack of it - newly planted seedlings are moistened abundantly and no longer watered for three days. Then watering is done once or twice a week - you can add 4 drops of iodine to a bucket of water, this will make the tomatoes ripen earlier and be larger. For Persimmon tomato, 3 liters of warm, settled water per bush is enough.
Tomatoes are fed with nitrogen-containing fertilizers at an early stage of development, then they stop and wait for the ovary to form - an excess of nitrogen slows down its formation. As soon as the ovary has appeared, phosphorus-potassium fertilizers are applied, but chlorine impairs the development of tomatoes, so potassium chloride is not the best option; ash or potassium sulfate is preferable.
Spraying leaves and inflorescences with boric acid in the amount of 1 g per 1 liter of water prevents flowers and ovaries from falling off. Compost and humus are excellent mulch for tomatoes, at the same time they provide fertilizer and protection against diseases.
If the bush blooms profusely, but fruits are not formed, it may be a matter of pollination - it can be improved mechanically by shaking the plant stem twice a week from 8 to 13 hours. To increase the sugar content of the fruit, tomatoes are fed with salt and ash - a glass of ash and a tablespoon of table salt are dissolved in a bucket of water and 0.5 liters of solution are consumed per bush.
When purchasing a Persimmon tomato for cultivation, the characteristics and description of the variety allow you to evaluate this popular variety of yellow-fruited tomatoes and make a choice in its favor for the next year.

When making sea buckthorn juice for the winter, the composition of beneficial vitamins and components is not reduced, even if the product has been previously heat-treated. Drinking the drink helps stop the development of diseases, strengthens the immune system, and energizes the body. The peculiarity of the berries is the presence of a large seed and astringency in taste, which is why many people do not eat sea buckthorn. To obtain a storehouse of vitamins, it is recommended to prepare juice.
During production, it must be taken into account that natural juice has a high concentration. The addition of water and sugar is necessary to achieve a taste and consistency that is pleasant to drink.
Why do persimmons make your mouth stick?
The main reason why this berry causes dry mouth and discomfort in the gums is its immaturity. The fact is that persimmon contains a large (really huge) amount of tannin.
Tannin is a substance related to the tannins of organic plants, and it is this that spoils the entire taste of the berry. When persimmon hits the walls of the mucous membranes of our mouth, tannin seems to “freeze” our salivary glands and blood capillaries.
The effect of tannin is similar to an injection of anesthesia - even after rinsing the mouth with water, the feeling of numbness will last for at least another 2-3 minutes.
Due to the fact that saliva does not enter the mouth and does not allow us to soften food, the taste of food and its richness are lost. However, you should know that not every persimmon causes this effect. In order to purchase juicy and sweet fruits, you need to carefully examine the store shelves.
Selection and preparation of the main ingredient
Sea buckthorn is harvested at the end of summer and in the first weeks of autumn - until the end of October. Even after frost, the berries do not lose their benefits and the integrity of their external condition. To pick berries yourself, it is recommended to purchase a set of protective clothing or things that you don’t mind throwing away. The splashes of berries at the time of picking scatter in all directions and have a bright, rich hue.
When choosing berries at markets, you should pay attention to the color - sea buckthorn has a bright orange tone. The fruits must be free of black spots, spots, rot, and the skin must be intact. Welcomes the firm feel.
Selected berries should be washed and dried before processing.
