An accessory fruit of the rose plant, the rose hip is also called rose hep or rose haw. Other names include dog rose fruit, hipberries, hip fruit, hop fruit, and brier hip. It is usually red or orange, but in some species, the color ranges from dark purple to black.
Rose hips make great jellies, sauces, syrups, soups and seasoning, and even fruit leather. To get a sense of the taste of rose hips, start out by brewing yourself a cup of rose hip tea.
Just one ounce of fresh rose hips contains 200% of your daily needs for vitamin C! They’re also high in vitamin A and a good source of other nutrients such as folate, calcium, and magnesium.
Many natural skincare products, including rose hip soap and rose hip lip balm, are made with rose hip seed oil. It’s a great choice ∀ skin types and will moisturize without being heavy and too oily.
