These are wild organic rosa canina rosehips. Grown on unspoiled private land in the NY Finger Lakes. These shrubs "volunteered", and I have been cultivating them for many years without herbicides or pesticides. These hips are whole and dried. Packaged by the ounce in kraft paper bags.
They are particularly rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. They are known to be used to prevent scurvy, shorten colds and flu, and increase collagen synthesis. Rosehip oil is used to prevent scarring and help reduce fine lines associated with aging. Rosehips contain galactolipids that may reduce arthritis pain. Rosehip powder has also been shown to reduce symptoms associated with rheumatoid inflammation. Rosehips contain tiliroside, an antioxidant that may have fat-burning properties and help to maintain a healthy weight.
All plant material is stored with oxygen absorbers in Mylar zip-seal bags made of PET Aluminum, food-grade, eco-friendly & BPA free materials. It is re-packaged when ordered to maintain freshness.
