Momo Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Does anyone here harvest rose hips for use as a source of natural vitamin C? My granny used to and now I can't remember all the details she used to tell me. I wonder if one could dehydrate them for future use. Link to comment
CrabGrassAcres Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I don't have any to harvest yet, but I buy the dried hips and use them frequently. Link to comment
LeeAnn Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I don't have any to harvest yet, but I buy the dried hips and use them frequently. How do you use them. I bought a pound of them, sealed them in jars for long term need but don't really know what to do with them. Link to comment
OINK Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I would love to know if I can grow my own. I just use mine in teas to boost it with the vitaminC. Link to comment
gramma lois Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I have harvested rosehips for decades - easy to do and has a lovely flavor. Here is a link that will help and it offers a few recipes for rosehip jam... http://www.springvalleyroses.com/inthegard...oserecipes.html Adding another link - http://homecooking.about.com/library/archive/blrosehips.htm Link to comment
sassenach Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Rose hips are typically used in tea, so boiling water poured over probably a small handful for a couple cups of rose hip tea. Very high in Vit C! Steep about five minutes, maybe? Enjoy.... Link to comment

PureCajunSunshine Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Dunno what happened, but that link brought up a one-post thread consisting of just a question. Thinking it might have been an unfinished duplicate thread, I went hunting for a more complete thread...nada, didn't find it but I found these! Here's some more links to try... > Rose Hips http://mrssurvival.com/forums/index.php?sh...mp;hl=rose+hips http://mrssurvival.com/forums/index.php?sh...mp;hl=rose+hips http://mrssurvival.com/forums/index.php?sh...mp;hl=rose+hips http://mrssurvival.com/forums/index.php?sh...mp;hl=rose+hips Newbies, some of those threads have references to dead links. If you see a link with the letters 'ubb' somewhere in the link addy, it is a dead link to our old site. Sorry 'bout that! Link to comment
Mother Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Thanks PCS. I didn't check it out close enough. I guess I just figured it was in the pharmacoepia and must be the info on it. Sorry everyone. Link to comment
