Rosehip

From the flowers of the wild rose, the rosehips are created in the Fall. The wild rose grows in all of Europe and blooms from June to Mid-July.

 

The fruits glow dark red in the fall and have small, hairy pips (you might remember those used as a great itching powder). Only the meaty skins are used in fruit teas, which have to be separated carefully from the pits in a complicated procedure. The most important countries of origin are Chile, the Balkans, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Our rosehip origins from Chile.
