Each product that we eat, should not only be fun, but also beneficial. There are no exceptions to this rule and berries, which are sold so much in the summer in stores.

Properties of sea-buckthorn when it is frozen and heat treated
If in summer we have the opportunity to buy almost any berries, then in the winter it is not so easy. Therefore, we often try to either freeze the gifts of nature, or make canned food, for example, jam. However, many berries and fruits lose their useful properties with any treatment. And this is another useful quality than the sea buckthorn stands out against the background of other gifts of nature.
Jam from sea-buckthorn preserves all the useful properties of the "living" berries. It will perfectly help you and your loved ones with colds, as, in fact, it is an analogue of the famous raspberry jam. The same can be said about the beneficial properties of frozen sea buckthorn. They are also identical to those that are present in fresh berries.
Simply, jam should be used carefully by people who control their weight. After all, it will contain sugar. But frozen berries no longer carry such a danger. Therefore, if you want to keep this unique fruit for the winter, it may be better to take advantage of the freezer, rather than the method of conservation.
