A rose hip is the fruit of a rose. Also known as rose haw or rose hep.
The wild dog rose is the type of rose most often cultivated for their hips.
This plant grows up to ten feet tall and bears a white, very fragrant flower.
Once the flower has bloomed, and all the petals have fallen off, the hip is
picked and used in a wide variety of preparations. Rose hips are the best
source of vitamin C; they contain 50% more vitamin C than oranges. A single
tablespoon of the pulp gives an adult more than the recommended daily allowance
of 60 mg. They can be eaten raw, after being put through a blender, or soaked
in water overnight and then cooked in the water for about half an hour. Because
of the high vitamin C content they are an excellent immune system booster, and
are often used as a supplement to prevent or treat a cold. The pulp from rose
hips may be used in sauces or made into jelly.
