ABOUT US
Sea buckthorn, which contains more than 180 active substances, has been known in Northern China, Tibet, for more than 2000 years.
The ZELT sea buckthorn garden is located in the middle of Latvia, in Jelgava County, and is special because it is the largest single variety organic sea buckthorn garden in Latvia. The 36 hectares of the garden, which has around 60 000 trees, are home to the ‘Tatjana’ variety of buckthorn, which has a high oil content. Not only the sea buckthorn berries, but also their leaves and bark are rich in vitamins and valuable substances.
