This made me think of my grandfather. He would always take me on walks when I was little and point out certain plants to me that he liked. Looking back he was a big inspiration for all of this. Thank you! You take care as well!

This is awesome! We just bought property with a ton of wild roses. We weren't able to pick them because of the house build, but now that we finished the house we want to make sure we don't loose the chance to forge these guys.

[@lukepippin4781]

I was out squirrel hunting with my dad yesterday, and we’ve been talking about identifying edible plants in the woods. I came across a red berry with a dried black flower on it, so I picked it and put it in my pocket. With a little research I found the name, and your video told me the rest 😁 Thank you!

I didn't know that aluminum depletes vitamin c. Always great information. I love rose and hibiscus flowers

[@SmallSeeds]

Cooking in general does this but I read in a few articles before, specifically on cooking with rosehips, that aluminum depletes it even more and messes with the color or taste. I am looking into it more now though and can't really find a lot of information on it besides those articles. So perhaps I will edit that out until I find more info. Thanks for bringing that up! Rose and hibiscus is a lovely combo! I do see rosehips and hibiscus flowers being used a lot together as well.

[@HerHealthyHome]

@@SmallSeeds it probably is true, I have to be careful to take off my ring when I'm making a face mask with bentonite clay because the metal neutralizes the clay! The clay actually pulls heavy metal toxins out of the body so it makes sense. I use a plastic measuring spoon to mix it instead of metal utensils.

[@irisheyes8433]

Cooking with aluminium utensils is not good in general as it stays in the body and studies have shown it is a factor in causing alzheimers. Stainless steel is best.

[@starfishey2]

This is by far the most informational video I've watched in the past 2 days of rigorously researching rose hips. There are hips taht appear to be ripe on the beach near me. Weird considering all the info I've found says to wait until fall. Even still, I picked a small batch and have them out drying in the sun now. Sadly i didn't know teh seeds were such a vital part and tossed all of them. :( Once I'm positive these are ripe I'll try again and make use of all the bits! Thank you so much for sharing all this wonderful knowledge

[@SmallSeeds]

So glad you found it informative! Yes pick them when they are ripe. Most of the time people wait until frost with rosehips because they are wild species that ripen in fall. With rugosa and other species/varieties the hips ripen throughout the summer and fall and it’s best to pick them while you can! You can also just pop them in your freezer to mimic a frost. 😊

[@renriley66]

I picked somme before a frost but put them in my freezer overnight and worked perfect

[@gmw3083]

I have a lot of wild rose hips. I picked them last year but didn't do much with them. There are more this year, and now the frost has come. I have some ideas now, but part of the reason I was hesitant to do anything with the hips from last year is this. How much heat can vitamin C withstand? Vitamin C and heat Vitamin C begins to denature at temperatures as low as 86 °F, according to a study in the International Journal of Scientific and Technology Research. The negative effects of heat increase significantly at 140 and even more at 170 °F.Aug 7, 2018 The above concurs with what I've seen previously. That Vitamin C is greatly depleted by high temps. Boiling, for example 6:07

My comment is this: when you pick hips you must choose the right time. Simple watch birds. Birds don’t eat hips until the first autumn frost. If you pick them before the frost it’s best to freeze them before you do anything else. A great vitamin c source.

[@bustedkeaton]

Im obsessed with rose hips. I got mail-order "Jubilee" rugosa roses two years ago, full of fantasies of bushes of red fruit in winter to make syrup out of... but Im in Central Texas, and the heat kills them to the ground once a year, then a freeze in February kills them down again. I get a couple flowers in late spring, but the fruit never has a chance to mature. Someday when Ive moved somewhere with a cooler climate, I bet I'll have a better chance.

[@PCBoardRepair]

[@elmarfudd4267]

Simply...Thankyou.

[@lindabechard461]

Loved all your information about rose hips. We have wild roses near our house my husbanded wanted to know if the little seeds can be used for replanting to have more rose bushes.

So much I didn’t know about rose hips. Now if only I can collect them before the wildlife eat them. Last year the Rose Rugosa bush was full and I was waiting patiently for them to ripen but the wildlife did not and enjoyed them first.

Another lovely thing about rose hips ..is their hips.. Thanks comprehensively informative... Can you eat them raw!

[@SmallSeeds]

I have eaten them raw on many occasions just a few at a time and haven’t had any issues. However, the small hairs around the seeds can be irritating to some people so raw eating isn’t usually recommended.

[@LivadaBio]

Very very cool ... 👌👌 Success ... ⚘⚘ !!!

[@Alison-h8e]

That freezing thing I've been taught by an elderly Hungarian lady my Mom knew years ago to wrap heads of cabbage and freeze them for sweeter cabbage in your dishes ( works well for cabbage rolls ) makes peeling the leaves off easier for certain applications. As well as increasing sweetness ....wonder about that beta carotine thing , if it works for them as well.

[@jarrodyuki7081]

i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sheilagraham8543]

[@danielfegley2735]

I eat my rose hips raw right off the plant so after a frost is the best time cause it soften the skin and pulp making it easier to get juice out by pressing it with my tough and spitting out the seeds I don't even notice the hairs , I like Multiflora Rose because it taste sweet and I don't have to worry about insecticides , I never made it into tea I'm not sure how much to use in relation to water, they're small so I imagine a lot

[@elidiapearfindchannel2587]

Amazing 😮😮

[@foreverfreeshu]

Do you have to remove the seeds before making tea or can I strain afterwards. Thanks for making this informative video

[@SmallSeeds]

You can strain afterwards as long as the strainer doesn’t allow the irritating hairs through as well. If the holes in the strainer aren’t small enough for this I recommend a muslin bag or double layer of cheese cloth.

Hi. What would you say is the best way to dry rosehips? Dehydrater or sunshine? Will they keep through the winter before being dryed? Thanks for any help you can give.

It is best to dry them before winter storage. I have never tried the sun drying method to be honest but both methods should work.

Why are my rose hips dry and brittle on the plant? 😢

[@camillechapman7608]

Hello! Thank you for the very informative video! I have a question about foraging them: I live in Southern Quebec, Canada and our wild rose hips start to look nice and ready in august before we are anywhere near the first frost. Last year I waited for the frost but it seemed to be too late and they were all eaten up or shrivelled. I am wondering if I should take the opportunity now to pick them before the frost and I was also wondering if you do this too or if you wait. It seems like each article I read they say wait for the first frost! But then I saw you hinted that you could possibly harvest them before? Thanks! Cam

[@SmallSeeds]

If they are ripe now I would absolutely pick them! In fact our Rosa Rugosa hips are ripe and ready now and I’ve already started picking. Usually the ones that ripen in late fall are from wild rose species and species that flowers bloom once usually in late Spring or Early Summer. I will collect those types once they ripen in fall and some after the frost for better flavor. Ripening times for hips vary somewhat and if you were to leave those ones for frost they probably won’t be good by then like you mentioned. Perhaps it even has something to do with the climate differences but yeah I hope you have a nice time collecting and using them ☺️

[@sarahwatts7152]

A couple of English rosehip videos I watched indicated that you can freeze the rosehips yourself before using them

[@SmallSeeds]

@@sarahwatts7152 Yes! Thanks for adding that 😊

[@AmyRector]

I don't have any wild ones close by but have roses all around my yard and neighborhood. I just looked & they're all green. Do I wait til they turn red?

Yes. For harvesting they should be red in color or at least a deep orange-red depending on the rose species.

Every variety of rose hips are edible. Some are just more desirable than others like the hips of Rosa Rugosa.

Nope! We have a lot of trouble with the multiflora rose in our area though. I recently found out Rugosa is invasive in coastal areas/dune habitats.

[@Narrowway7]

I collect a lot of wild rose hips in CO. I want to make some sort of facial oil with them. Do you have an easy method for that. ? Just soaking them in jojoba?

[@SmallSeeds]

You could just soak them in oil but I would recommend using a hot method of infusion (gently heating the oil with the hips in it using some type of double boiler) or the alcohol intermediary method. I have a video on the channel about the alcohol intermediary method if that helps. Using one of these method would most likely extract more of the rosehip’s benefits. If you want to just soak them in oil, you can once they are dried for about 4-6 weeks.

[@silverlining_1995]

The rosa rugosa hips really do look like little pomegranates! Most other rosehips don't look as similar though. Roses are actually in the same family as strawberries, apples, plums and a lot of other common fruits.

[@susantaylor8507]

What about the rose hip hairs in eating them raw how do they taste

[@SmallSeeds]

The hips themselves taste sweet and somewhat tart with a flavor reminiscent of tomato. I have eaten raw hips on many occasions, just a few at a time, and haven’t had issues with the hairs but some people may be more sensitive to them so they usually aren’t recommended for raw eating. Sometimes the hairs do have a scratchy texture when eaten but in some hips you don’t even notice them. Once they have gone through a frost they do taste better and because the consistency is more like a jam and the hairs are less noticeable.

[@myfragilelilac]

Nyponsoppa yes! I am swedish :D

[@SmallSeeds]

I have never tried it but am very curious!

[@myfragilelilac]

I make it like this: Cut the rosehips. Add in a bowl with boiling water. I add some date syrup instead of sugar. Then mix it with a mixing stick. Get rid of the seeds with a strainer... then you will have a soup... in Sweden we eat it warm with a spoon of cream on top and the little button shaped almond macaroons called mandelbiskvi. :) (i dont know if they exist in other countries)
