Azure Market Organics Rose Hip Powder, Organic

Description: Rose hips are berry-like fruits with a fruity, tangy taste that is similar to hibiscus flowers but not so much like roses! Rose hips are one of the richest plant sources of vitamin C. During World War II in England, a syrup made using rose hips was given to children as a vitamin C source. They are often used today to make a vitamin C-rich tea. They make a flavorful addition to all kinds of dishes and beverages and are commonly used for herbal tea blends, jellies, syrups, pies, bread, and even wines. Boost your health by adding rose hips to smoothies and juices, granola, and even for baking. Rose hips are also used for soapmaking, clarifying rinses, lotions, and potpourri. The fine powder form dissolves well in water or mixes well into dry ingredients. To make tea with rose hip powder, add ½ tsp to 1 c of boiling water. Steep for 5 minutes, strain, and enjoy hot or cold. Try with hibiscus flowers and honey for a tart, fruity tea.
