Rosehips are the fruits that develop on wild roses when the flowers drop off.
They are known for centuries for their concentrated source of Vitamin C and are enjoyed by humans and animals alike.
Besides Vitamin C rose hips are also rich in:
Vitamins A, D, E, flavonoids, lycopene, iron.
Rose hips contain anti-inflammatory properties and may be used to support healthy joints.
The various flavonoids in rose hips have a potent antioxidant action.
History Lesson:
During World War II, the British government used rose hips to make
rose hip syrup as a source of vitamin C to replace citrus fruits that
were impossible to get.
Dried rose hips are great to steam for a Vitamin C rich tea.
Simply steam the hips in some water for 15 mins.

Here is a fun recipe for Rosehip Syrup
Rosehip Syrup is made with the tea you make with either fresh or dried hips.
The heated syrup can be canned by pouring it into hot, sterilized 1/2 pint jars and processing in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes.
Reishi and Chocolate are the perfect pair.
Chocolate is naturally caffeinated and energy boosting, while Reishi is calming, it's like ying and yang.
They taste so good when combined, and will make you feel warm, cozy and powerful.
