Schisandra Fruit

ABOUT

Schisandra, also known as the five flavor fruit, is a fruit-bearing vine. The purple-red berries it produces are described as having five tastes: salty, sweet, bitter, pungent and sour. It is found throughout Asia and Russia and while not typically used as a food, its medicinal properties have been used for generations. It is considered an adaptogen and is believed to stimulate the body's resistance to physical, environmental, and emotional stressors. The chemicals in schisandra improve liver function and might increase energy, which can improve endurance and coordination.
