The rose hip, or rose haw, is the fruit of the rose plant, that typically is red-to-orange, but ranges from dark purple to black in some species. Rose hips begin to form in spring, and ripen in late summer through autumn. Rose hips are used for herbal tea, jam, jelly, syrup, soup, beverages, pies, bread, wine, and marmalade. They can also be eaten raw, like a berry, if care is used to avoid the hairs inside the fruit. Wikipedia

That's great Ivan Rodriguez! Learning new information is one of my favorites things about Project Noah.
Conveniently, I saw "rose hips" on the ingredients label on some fruit juice and was wondering what they were. Thank you for the information! :)
