Rose Hips (Rosa canina) – Cut & Sifted for Tea, Culinary & Apothecary Use
- Chile/ South Africa
Rose Hips (Rosa canina) are the vibrant, tart fruits of wild roses, often referred to as rose haw. These cut and sifted hips are valued for their tangy, fruity flavor and their versatility in both the kitchen and the home apothecary.
During World War II, rose hips became widely used in Britain as a local substitute for citrus fruit, brewed into syrups and teas when imported fruit was scarce. Today, they remain a favorite for teas, jellies, jams, soups, oils, and infusions, adding brightness and depth wherever they are used.
Naturally caffeine-free, rose hips are a staple for blending into fruit teas and are equally at home in culinary recipes and craft projects.
