Rose Hip Seeds
October 24th, 2007
If you’ve been eating rose hips you will know about the seeds, they can be a faf to remove and some of them are so hard that even the VitaMix won’t break them down. So today I discovered a very simple way of using them - I put them in the blender with my hemp seeds when I am making the hemp milk, so the flesh gets broken down and goes into the milk and the seeds get left behind when I strain the milk. The milk tastes prety good like this too.

do you need to prepare raw rosehip before eating it and does it matter what kind of rose you get them from

The previous post talks a little more about rose hips - http://www.rawrob.com/2007/10/18/rose-hips-and-vitamin-c/
Basically, the seeds can be irritating to the throat, but I find if they are fully ripe they don’t cause me any problems.
As far as I know, all rose hips are edible, but I’ve only ever tried dog rose (wild rose) and rosa rugosa which has large round hips.
