It worked! Freezing the entire bag of astel/paju (sea buckthorn) berries as they had been purchased (haljal oksal, "on the leafy branch"), resulted in the bright orange C-vitamiin rich marjad literally popping off their asteldega (thorny) branches, as opposed to becoming lömastatud (smushed). Buying them in this puhastamata "uncleaned" state meant a better price. 5 € for a 1 kilogram bag. And cutting the bushes back encourages them even more. They're a tough lot – kanged.
