As
rose hips are one of my all time favorite herbs, I felt it appropriate
to start with them as the first herb that I share with you all. Rose hips are the fruit
of the rose, meaning they are what develops after the rose blossom has
dropped its petals. They are one of the richest sources of vitamin C and
also contain bio-flavonoids which are necessary for the body to absorb
vitamin C (Mother Nature sure knows what she's doing). Rose hips are
most commonly used to help prevent or treat the common cold or flu,
which is why I chose to add them to our Immunity tea blend. Rose hips
are also a tasty winter trail snack. I like to eat them after a couple
of frosts when they're nice and tart, just be sure to remove the seeds.
They taste like fruit leather!
