Are Rosehips safe (and healthy)?

I'm considering using one Rosehip in every Green Smoothie I prepare. Does anyone here have experience in this?
Do these look safe to you?......WY

Rosehips are actually the best source for vitamin c! You could definitely add some to green smoothies. Start small and see how you like it.

Maybe make sure they're from untreated roses? Good luck!

My partner makes rosehip wine. He has discovered that the small wild hips make a far better wine - the big fat garden rosehips from the likes of Rosa rugosa are far too pithy and don't seem to make good wine at all.

This may translate into how they are too eat as well - i would say trial and error will let you know smiling smiley - but yes they are quite safe too eat although probably not terribly palatable.

I think it would be a novelty in today's time, maybe not so much generations ago. Go for it!

Love,

Thanks for all the good advice and comments. I ordered a pound, as pictured in my original post.
If they don't taste good in Smoothies, I'm only out 20 bucks......WY

You can make tea with them. Sun tea if you like, just crush them up fine.
