Goyal hails Ladakh's sea buckthorn as 'golden treasure'

Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal called Ladakh's GI-tagged sea buckthorn 'a golden treasure of India's natural heritage'. The bright orange berry, known as 'Ladakh Gold', grows in Nubra Valley at about 12,000 feet. A dietitian says it is rich in vitamin C, but the claim that it has ten times more than lemons varies by variety and processing.
