Birch sap champagne


YES its champagne from a big birch trea made in the north of Sweden. So cool and so good taste like the woods but champagne.

The story of this sap champagne is inetresting too: the recepy of this champagne is from the 17 hundred. The sap in the trea is only avalible after the snow has melt away and only in a short period of time. When trea is blooming the sap is gone. On the picture you can see the Sap champagne-guy taking the sap out from the trea.


I have taste it before and I must say it is champagne with a earthy, nature after taste.

Sea-buckthorn the Swedish Goji Berrie

Sea-buckthorn
is the Swedish Goji Berry in my opinion.

Sea-buckthorn is called the northers passion fruit. Its a bitter sour yellow berry. It grown widely from the Atlantic Oceans European coast to China. In West Europe it's grown by the water where the salty water splash up and make the earth salty. Sea-buckthorn likes that and becomes the only plant in that area.

Sea-buckthorn is normally a small bush or a small trea and can become 30 to 50 years old. It likes the sun...like any other Swede. Sea-buckthorn have been used as medecine in Asian for centuries.

Nutrients; Antioxidants that may effect inflammatory disorders like cancer or other diseases Its hight in vitamin C about 12 times greater than Oranges. Sea-buckthorn also contains carotein, vitamin E, many vitamin B, amino acids, diatary minerals and fats...

Swedes from the north are making juice, marmelade, tea, skin care, the oil for the skin is a old tradition to have a soft, healthy and glowing skin, oils for food or just eat them dried. It's yummy too. My favorite is the marmelade on top of a blue cheese. Or use the oil on my skin it's absolutely fantstic for the skin. This is a berry for a more beayful inside and out.
