I admit I haven&#8217;t encountered rose hips before, but from the stuff I&#8217;m reading about them, I&#8217;ll be chasing them down to give them a try. Several personal accounts I&#8217;ve come across say that they&#8217;re delicious on top of being oh so good for you. <\/p>\n<p>Roses are known more for their flower than their fruit. Few people know that rose plants even bear fruit, but rose hips are actually just that &#8211; the fruit from the rose plant. They begin to form in spring and ripen from late summer through to the fall. They almost look like small plum tomatoes with colours ranging from dark red to almost purple to bright orange.<\/p>\n<p>Rose hips are highly valued in the natural foods community as a potent source of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsfit.ca\/search\/?q=vitamin%20C\">vitamin C<\/a>. They contain a whopping 2000mg of vitamin C per every 100g or fruit. That&#8217;s over forty times more vitamin C than an orange!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsfit.ca\/2010\/02\/12\/rose-hips-a-vitamin-c-packed-superfood\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Rose Hips: A Vitamin C-Packed Superfood<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;\">\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsfit.ca\/2010\/02\/12\/rose-hips-a-vitamin-c-packed-superfood\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Permanent link to this entry\">Permalink<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsfit.ca\/forward\/19349851\/\" title=\"Send this entry to a friend via email\">Email this<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thatsfit.ca\/2010\/02\/12\/rose-hips-a-vitamin-c-packed-superfood\/#comments\" title=\"View reader comments on this entry\">Comments<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Filed under: Health, Healthy Eating, Eat This When doing research on goji berries, the last superfood I profiled, I came across another amazing fruit that I thought I&#8217;d share.
