Rose hip - バラの実
You have probably heard or even drank rose hip tea, and rose hip oil is quite common these days. Rose hips are the fruit from the rose plant. They are very high in Vitamin C and can be used as an alternative to citrus fruits. Rose hips are used for a range of medicinal purposes such as in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
But did you know that itching powder is made from the fine hairs that line the inside of the rose hips?
Make sure that you don't eat those!
Rose hips from wild roses are the main subject of Kenji's short story - Good medicine, Bad medicine.
