Rose Hips Whole are dried
<em>Rosa canina</em>
fruits with a bright colour, tart flavour and naturally occurring vitamin C. Traditionally gathered as a winter
wellness fruit, rose hips are used in teas, syrups, jams, smoothies and vitality blends. They have a cranberry-like
tang and can be steeped, simmered, cooked into recipes or rehydrated before use. Whole rose hips are a practical
choice when you want a fruit-style botanical rather than a powder.
</p>
<p>
♡ Why we love it: Whole rose hips bring natural tartness and colour to tea blends and recipes. They are a classic
choice for seasonal wellness teas, fruity syrups and nourishing kitchen-apothecary preparations.
