Rosehips are the fruit of roses, which bloom as the flowers drop off. These fruits are one of the most concentrated and potent sources of Vitamin C, which may help support a healthy immune system.*
Rosehips have a delicate, floral flavor that's subtly sweet with a distinct tart aftertaste. You can enjoy rosehips in a soothing cup of tea and in smoothies, jams, and honeys.
