Omija, also known as Schisandra chinensis, is a plant native to East Asia, particularly found in regions like Korea and China. Its name translates to "five-flavor berry" because the fruit offers a unique combination of sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and pungent flavors. Omija is often used in traditional herbal medicine and is popular in beverages, especially Omija tea. The berries of Omija are rich in antioxidants and are believed to have various health benefits, including improving liver function and enhancing respiratory health. They are commonly dried and brewed into teas or used to make syrups and jams. Omija is also a key ingredient in some traditional dishes in Korean cuisine.
