Rose hips (fruit) Fitofarm 100g.

Description:

Rose hips contain ascorbic acid, vitamin K, riboflavin, carotenoids, flavonoids, pectins, organic acids, tannins, anthocyanins, and macro- and microelements. These are whole, cleaned (sepals and stalks removed) false fruits varying in shape from spherical, ovoid, or oval to highly elongated spindle-like forms; fruit length is 0.7–3 cm, and diameter is 0.6–1.7 cm. At the apex of the fruit, there is a small round opening or a pentagonal area. The fruits consist of an enlarged, fleshy receptacle (hypanthium)—which becomes juicy upon ripening—enclosing numerous small nutlets within its cavity. The walls of the dried fruits are hard and brittle; the outer surface is shiny (less frequently matte) and more or less wrinkled. The interior is densely lined with long, very stiff, bristly hairs. The nutlets are small and oblong, with indistinct edges. Fruit color ranges from orange-red to brownish-red; nutlets are light yellow, sometimes brown. Odorless. The taste of the aqueous infusion is sweet-and-sour and slightly astringent.
