Barberry

Description

Barberry 

Barberry cultivation in Khorasan is concentrated in the south of the province, especially around Birjand and Qaen where environmental conditions (hot weather, low relative humidity, water shortage, and soil condition) are unfavorable for the growth of other horticultural crops.

In Iran, more than 5,000 tonnes of barberries are produced each year. Khorasan, located in northeastern Iran, is the production center with about 6,000 hectares of field growing barberry. Each year, more than 4,500 tonnes are harvested in the Khorasan region alone.

Barberry has a sour taste and this sour taste causes iron to be absorbed in it. The health benefits of barberry are various so that it can even be referred to as a cholesterol level controller. This action is made possible by the dietary fiber present in barberry. Also, active antioxidants in this fruit can help the immune system.

Barberries are highly nutritious. They are rich in carbs, fiber, and several vitamins and minerals.

In particular, the berries are an excellent source of vitamin C, an antioxidant that may help protect against cellular damage, which can lead to heart disease and cancer.
