Rosehips ripen on wild roses through late autumn. They have been used for centuries as a nutrient powerhouse and alternative to citrus fruits when they weren't available.
Rosehips have a delicate, floral flavor that's subtly sweet with a distinct tart aftertaste. You can enjoy rosehips in a soothing cup of tea and in smoothies, jams, and honeys.
