Dried and ground barberry berries are an excellent seasoning for many Eastern dishes: shashlik, lula kebabs, and even lamb broth. The powder can also be served separately with the finished dish.
Barberries are used to make jam, jellies, juices, syrups, and sorbets. They are also added as a pleasantly sour seasoning to savory sauces for game (barberry imparts a particularly vibrant flavor to goose dishes), roast beef, and veal.
In some Caucasian and Transcaucasian cuisines, barberries are added to horseradish, and in Central Asia, they are a must-have in pilaf and as part of the filling for kupaty. Unripe barberries are sometimes pickled or salted and served with meat and game. This method was also well known in pre-revolutionary Russian cuisine.

Barberry berries are widely used in Caucasian cuisine, are an ingredient in many traditional seasonings, and are added to meat dishes.
Barberry has long been revered in Rus' for its medicinal properties. An infusion of the bark, stems, and roots is used to stop bleeding, reduce inflammation, and treat colds.
Barberry berries increase appetite and also possess strong antibiotic properties. They are an ancient Russian remedy for hypertension, effectively stimulating the immune system, lowering blood pressure, and are beneficial for liver disease, even shrinking tumors in some cases.
