Rosehips: The "fruit of the rose"
The “fruit of the rose” ~
Found underneath the rose petals, rose hips are usually red-orange, though other varieties can be found. Historically, rose hips have been used as a natural remedy for many diseases and ailments, as it has been found that they may help reduce signs of aging and lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and osteoarthritis pain.
Rose hips are amazing and packed with so many vitamins, fatty acids and antioxidants.
We utilize these amazing “fruits of the rose” in some of our creations, a couple of which include:
