(Rosa sp).
Description
Rose hips contain vitamin C and flavonoids, which increase the body’s utilisation of the vitamin. Therefore this herb is beneficial for colds and flu. The nutrients however, are lost when the herb is dried.
Prepacked rose hip teas, jams, extracts, purees, and soups don’t contain very high amounts of anything beneficial to your system.
