Our carrot soup is not only an incredibly tasty and aromatic dish, it is even more! Since the sea buckthorn season begins in late summer, we used the juice of this domestic, sour fruits. It substitutes the juice of other citrus fruits like oranges, which also harmony perfectly with carrots. Sea buckthorn does not only contain a lot of vitamin C but also vitamin B 12, which is usually almost exclusively found in animal products. Thus, this fruit is perfectly suitable and important source of vitamins for a vegan diet. You can either search bushes of sea buckthorn on your own or use NFC juice, which can buy in health or organic shops.
