Schisandra berry

  • Product number: 371700
  • Origin: East Asia
  • Latin: Schisandra chinensis

A purely Chinese medicinal plant. Here, the plant behaves as a perennial, hardy climber. When the plant matures after a few years, clusters of light pink, hanging flowers appear in spring, followed by spikes of bright red berries. These berries have a calming and stimulating effect. You could say this is the climbing Ginseng... Only use the berries when fully ripe. They contain sour, sweet, salty, hot, and bitter flavors! Hence the name "Wu-Wei-Zi," which means
"Five-Flavor Fruit."

Names:
Latin: Schisandra chinensis
