Organic Rosehip Dried Shells -Rosa Canina L.

Latin Name:   Rosa Canina L.

Origin Country:   Bulgaria

Rosa Canina L., commonly known as rosehip, dog rose, wild rose, or briar rose, is a wild species of rose belonging to the Rosaceae family. Native to Europe, northwest Africa, and western Asia, this deciduous shrub is recognized for its arching thorny stems, delicate pale pink flowers, and bright red-orange fruits known as rosehips, which develop during autumn.

Rosehips have been traditionally valued for their nutritional and botanical properties. Their naturally tangy, slightly sweet, and tart flavour, often compared to cranberries or hibiscus, makes them a popular ingredient in herbal teas, jams, jellies, syrups, and traditional culinary preparations.
