About Rose Hips

What are rose hips?

Rose hips are the fruit that grows after the wild rose flower blooms. They bloom in the spring and bear red berries in the fall.

Rose hips are said to be a "vitamin C bomb," containing about 10 times the amount of vitamin C as oranges and about 20 times the amount of vitamin C as lemons, and are characterized by their refreshing sourness. They are also rich in vitamins A, B, E, and P, making them a veritable vitamin treasure trove.

Potential benefits of rose hips

Rose hips are said to be very good for the skin because they are rich in vitamins. They improve metabolism by improving blood flow. They have also been reported to suppress melanin deposition (age spots and freckles) and acne inflammation by activating skin turnover. They are also said to strengthen skin cells by removing waste products from the skin, improving dry skin. In addition to their beauty benefits, the rich vitamin content can also help relieve fatigue, improve cold symptoms, and improve constipation.

Chili and rose hips

Chile is one of the countries where rose hips are cultivated the most, and rose hips have been familiar to the Chilean people for a long time. In the wisdom of the past, rose hips were used to apply cream to wounds and to eat rose hips for nutritional supplementation.

How to enjoy rose hips

Besides enjoying rosehip tea, we also recommend adding the fruit to yogurt, making sweets, or making jam. COESAM's 100% Rosehip Tea tea bags contain 100% rosehip, so you can reuse the fruit in the tea bag after you've finished drinking the tea.
