Rose hips are fleshy berries that develop from the receptacle of a rose flower after it withers. They have the highest vitamin C content. Testing has shown that every 100 grams of the edible portion of the fresh fruit contains over 6,810 mg of vitamin C, with a maximum of 8,300 mg. This makes them the "crown of all plant fruits" and the "King of Vitamin C." As a member of the Rosaceae family, rose hips have long been used as both a food and a medicine. Research has been conducted internationally, revealing their rich nutritional content, making them one of the fruits with the highest vitamin C content among fruits and vegetables.
Rose hips also contain other vitamins and minerals, carotene, flavonoids, fruit acids, tannins, pectin, sugars, amino acids, and essential fatty acids. These compounds play a crucial role in maintaining the fruit's quality and nutritional value, making them valuable raw materials for the development of new health products and nutritional beverages.
