These little hands are deeply involved in everything we grow, forage, and create for our family and yours! They made a game of navigating the needle sharp barberry spines, simultaneously learning about plant defenses and delicacy as they harvested these nutritious berries for future teas and full spectrum extract.Barberry has been well researched for multiple components, most notably berberine and berbamine. Barberry can be useful for GI infections, has antioxidant, antimicrobial, antihypertensive properties, and even exibits antitumor potential! It is also a bit overzealous in growing habits, so we feel good about harvesting in relative abundance.
