Rose Hip Powder

The rose hip, also known as rose haw and rose hep, is the accessory fruit of various species of the rose plant. These vibrant, seed-filled bulbs, found beneath rose petals, are a lesser-known, yet incredibly potent part of the rose.

Rose Hips are typically red but can also be orange or purple. Roses, part of the Rosaceae family, are a common flower, cultivated worldwide.

Rose hips have a rich history in traditional herbal remedies, with Native Americans using rosehip tea to soothe sore throats and aid digestion. Packed with vitamins C, E, and B, along with carotenoids and other minerals and antioxidants like phenolic compounds and healthy fatty acids, rose hips are thought to be a powerhouse for health and wellness. They also contain substances believed to ease inflammation, making them a versatile ingredient for a variety of products.

Its high vitamin C content makes it perfect for immune-boosting formulations and health supplements. They are also commonly used in breads, pies, jam, jelly and marmalades and can be used to make mead and soups.
