Bird cherry, fruits 50g LekraSET (Padusavium Moench)

What is LEKRASET?

LEKRASET Toominga viljad 50 g is a herbal tea ingredient made from bird cherry fruits. People often choose this plant drink for its traditional, tart flavor and astringent properties valued in folk herbal practices. The berries naturally contain tannins, which create a puckering taste and contribute to its use in soothing herbal drinks, particularly as a milder, plant-based alternative.

Key Component: Tannins

The high tannin content in bird cherry fruit is central to its effects. Tannins bind to proteins on mucous membranes, producing a tightening sensation. This makes the herb useful for digestive discomfort when meals feel heavy or the stomach is unsettled. Bird cherry is also traditionally linked to warming infusions in colder months, aligning with home wellness routines. The fruit’s form—whole or cut dried berries—allows gradual release of compounds during steeping, resulting in a rich, classic herbal tea experience compared to instant varieties.

Traditional Uses and Preferences

• Preferred by those who enjoy traditional Baltic and Eastern European plant infusions and seek a bitter-tart botanical drink.
• Suitable for individuals building a home herbal shelf with single-ingredient teas.
• Appreciated by people who prefer stronger herbal flavors over sweet fruit teas due to its pronounced taste.

Important Considerations

• Moderation is advised, as with many traditional herbs.
• LEKRASET bird cherry fruits are not a substitute for medical advice.
• They are not intended for long-term use without professional guidance.
• Extra caution is recommended during pregnancy or for those with herbal sensitivities.
