Anyone else got any ideas?

Im living in Kerry, Ireland and they are abundant right now. Local "fruits" are sparse, and most fruits and veg are imported so Id love to really take advantage of this local food source and vit C source.... I have a dehydrator but cant figure out how to dehydrate them in a useful way without the seeds getting in the way. the method you list for removing seeds doesnt really work with these as they are more disc-shaped; flatter, from cultivated roses. removing the seeds before dehydrating would be quite a project, but to leave them in would leave the hips most unusable for eating once dehydrated, except for tea. are they worth preserving for tea; ie is the vitamin C preserved by dehydrating? freezing might be a better option but i have only a tiny fridge and the freezer is tiny and constantly iced over... thanks hey funky rob–can you give any tips on PRESERVING rose hips for the winter?

Best to contact the manufacturer to confirm. Rob Anne: I don’t know, but probably, assuming that they were not cooked or heat treated before been freeze dried.

Chinese or Vietnamese shops sell shaved coconuts and Caribbean shops and market stalls sell whole green ones. China Town (Leicester Square tube, Lisle Street and Gerard Street) has several shops selling them. Other larger cities have China Towns which sell them, you will have to ask around in your nearest city. You can buy shaved coconuts online but they are very expensive, www.thai-food-online.co.uk have them for £8.99 plus p+p whereas in China Town they cost between £1 and £1.50 depending on season. If you want organic, I only know of one option, Orkos, in France who will send all over Europe - www.orkos.com/home_EN.php - They also sell Durian and other tropical fruits.
