Rosehips - Cut and Sifted Berries - Organic

Rosehips are the fruits of the rose which appear in early summer and ripen into late autumn. When fresh, rosehips have a tart flavor and can be consumed as food. Dried rosehips have been infused into herbal syrups and steeped as rosehips tea.

Rosehips develop on wild roses as the flowers drop off. The rose hip, also called the rose haw, is actually the fruit of the rose. These fruits are one of the most concentrated sources of vitamin C and bioflavanoids available. Rosehips have a tart flavor and have been used to make jelly, jam, soup or oil, or can even used to flavor tea. During World War II, the British government used collected rose hips to make rose hip syrup as a source of vitamin C to replace citrus fruits that were impossible to get. Rose hips have a long history of use in traditional medicine.
