Hawthorn Berry

Crataegus monogyna / Crataegus laevigata | Heart Wellness · Circulation · Antioxidant-Rich

Tastes like: mellow, fruity, and gently tart, like a dried apple with a hint of rosehip. Lovely simmered with cinnamon.

In Celtic tradition, you did not cut down a hawthorn tree. Hawthorns were planted at the center of villages, tended, protected, and revered. They called it the "May tree." The heart tree.

Across ancient Greece, Rome, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and European herbal tradition, cultures thousands of miles apart came to the same conclusion: hawthorn was the berry for the heart. Today it's one of the most researched berries in botanical science. Its signature compounds, OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins), have been studied for their relationship to healthy circulation and antioxidant activity.*
