Rosehips are the bright red fruits of the dog rose, valued for centuries as a natural source of vitamin C and gentle nourishment. Used in teas, syrups, skincare, and supplements, they support joint health, immune defence, and seasonal wellness. Their mild fruitiness blends beautifully in both culinary and herbal preparations.
- Traditionally used for colds, flu, arthritis, and general recovery after illness
- Rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and galactolipids with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action
- Clinically studied for joint pain and stiffness in osteoarthritis
- Supports immune function, skin health, and gentle detoxification
- A favourite in teas, syrups, kombucha, skincare, and even pet wellness
Tea: Simmer or steep 1–2 tsp per cup for 10–15 minutes. Strain well to remove fine hairs. Lovely on its own or with hibiscus, rosella, or elderberry.
Kombucha & syrup: Infuse in sweet teas or boil into rosehip syrup for immune tonics, winter drinks, or “vitamin C shots.”
Powder: Use in smoothies, overnight oats, or yogurt for an antioxidant boost. Pair with collagen or skin supplements.
Culinary: Use in jams, syrups, fruit blends, or herbal broths. Ideal for teas and infused drinks where straining is possible.
Pets: Add a pinch to dog food for joint support. Commonly used in equine nutrition and pet arthritis blends.
Customers love rosehips for their versatility and gentle strength. Many brew it as a daily tea, infuse it in oils for Christmas gifts, or use it in kombucha, winter broths, and even treats for their pets. Often paired with hibiscus, lemon balm, elderberry, and chamomile. Best stored airtight and steeped thoroughly using a fine strainer or muslin cloth to remove seed hairs, especially with fine cut rosehips.
