Is it the gooseberry? I have a bag of these in my cabinet that I got from Earth Fare for $10….they are tart and sweet and supposedly have a huge amount of vitamin C that has a high absorption rate in the body. Deeeelicious!

Seaberry? There are lots of other much-touted berries, like goji and goumi berries, but most of them are red or purple. This is the only yellow one I know of.

The only yellow berry I know of is gooseberry. When I was overseas, they made some kind of dessert with them that was kind of like a gooseberry crisp, but the berries were in some kind of custard. It was a cross between a crisp and a trifle. Anyway, it was soooo good!!

Let us know what it turns out to be, if you find out!

Thank you everybody. It looks like a small yellow pearl something similar to this which I found in Google Image.

I’ll let you know if I find out. It is supposed to be very healthy by the way.

It doesn’t go with the “small pearl” description but anyway. Here
it is. Wikipedia can be edited by anyone though. So anyway there it is.

Oh, yeah…I haven’t ever had this in anything but an extract.

flo's avatar

How healthy is it? If anyone out there finds a site (unbiased but not Wikipedia) that addresses it, please let us know.Where did you find the extract by the way @ladymia69?

I bought this at Earth Fare in the HBC section. It tasted good. They had plain old sea buckthorn extract there too. Just go to any health food store and you’re bound to find it…but you’ll have trouble finding the raw berries.

@ladymia69

Just FYI, sea buckthorn and the seaberry I mentioned above are the same thing.
