1. Who Am I?
Rosehip powder is made from the dried fruits of the wild rose, also known as dog rose. This fruit, which appears after the plant’s flowering, is a small treasure trove of benefits—round and plump. Our organic rosehip powder guarantees optimal quality and purity, standing out for its high content of vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber, all beneficial for health. Its flavor is mildly fruity and sweet, subtly reminiscent of berries with a hint of tartness.
2. Culinary Uses
In the kitchen, rosehip powder is extremely versatile. It can be used to flavor and enrich smoothies, hot drinks like teas or herbal infusions, as well as soups and baked goods. Its unique flavor brings originality to your dishes and drinks while adding an appealing rosy hue. It’s also ideal for sprinkling over yogurt or cereal for a nutrient-enriched breakfast.
3. A Little History
Rosehip has been used for centuries in Europe for its medicinal and nutritional properties. It was particularly valued during food shortages or long winters for its high vitamin C content. Today, it’s recognized for its antioxidant potential and is often used in traditional medicine as an immune booster and digestive aid.
