Hello,
before I start arguing even more with my girlfriend, I’d rather just ask here. She is currently really into something I don’t quite understand. She swears by "goji" and now wants to open a small organic store where she also plans to sell this so-called "common sea buckthorn." Apparently, this is the big trend on the German market right now... but I had never heard of it until now, maybe you have?
What’s the deal with this plant?
I just hope it’s not some kind of drug in the end…??? 😱

Goji berries are reportedly very rich in vitamins and are especially celebrated in Tibetan regions as a plant "for long life." Youthfulness, beauty, health…the whole range. Whether this is actually true, I cannot say, but according to Wikipedia, they are definitely not a drug! 😉

Common Sea Buckthorn:
This is a shrub that can grow up to 3m (10 feet) tall. The flowers are purple, blooming from July to September. In autumn, the shrub produces egg-shaped, red berries.
Sea buckthorn is native to Asia and Europe. It is often used as an ornamental hedge but can also be found growing wild.
For a long time, until the 19th century, sea buckthorn was considered toxic, but recent studies clearly show that it is NON-TOXIC to humans. However, animals such as dogs, cats, pigs, or rabbits can be at risk, but only if they consume large quantities.
Best regards,
Gartenbauer;)
