Starwest Botanicals Rosehips Organic, Seedless, Non-GMO - Bulk 1 lb Bag

I have been using these in herbal tea blends and the flavor is really good, the quality is excellent. I do not see any stems or bits besides the Rose hips and I'm very happy with the flavor it seems really fresh and the tea is a nice strong red.

I searched a for a rose hip product for both tea and additive to foods. I product is in a sealed bag as pictured and have a light citrus aroma. The rose hips are dried and shredded with occasional seeds, just be mindful of this in case you use as a food additive or wish to further process beyond simply using for tea. As a tea, I found the right balance, nice light, tangy flavor like many of the good herbal teas. The price is reasonable. I had purchased prior to this loose, whole dried rose hips locally which I had to mill to use for tea. I found that I had to throw out quite a few due to being bad. The local purchased were expensive, took more work to prepare for use and poor quality. Like any other harvested plant product, each batch may vary. So far very please with quality of product.

This is my second time buying this product, and I absolutely love it. I brew a couple of large mason jars of it overnight. Then, I heat it up with some honey and enjoy it weekly. I think it tastes really good! The bag is huge and lasts me for months.

So far I've used these as an additional beneficial ingredient in making elderberry syrup, in order to increase the Vitamin C, and for the antiinflammatory action. I was very positively impressed with the fresh aroma, and appearance of the intact hips. This is the first time I've made elderberry syrup, so I don't have a baseline I can compare it to, but it was quite easy to make, adding the rosehips didn't make it any more difficult to make (in my electric pressure cooker), the taste is quite lovely, and I happily slurp it down as needed medicinally. I'll try some in tea when I have it American style, as opposed to the Chinese teas I usually drink. (I don't think it would be a good addition to pu'erh or oolong.)

I bought these (actually I bought 2 packages of these) to make Rose hip jelly. I have no idea how to make it, just know that I love it and that it is very expensive. Soaked 1 package in a gallon of water and got such lovely juice! After straining, through a sieve, I soaked them again. After trying coffee filters, 2 more sieves, I got a package of jelly bags (Norpro 615 Jelly Strainer Bags, 2 Piece Set) which I recommend. Got beautiful juice. I made my jelly, it is a little runny but delicious. I am going to try again with the 2nd bag in a few months using some apple juice. In the mean time we are very happy with our runny jelly.

I didn’t buy these for human consumption. I have Pet chinchillas And like to give them a little treat every now and then and this is one thing that they like and is safe for them to eat. They are fresh and I like that the bag is resealable since it takes a long time to go through a large bag since the chinchillas can’t have treats every day. Best price I have found compared to what sites that sell chinchilla supplies charge for a small amount or a herb shop

I opted to try this brand of rosehips because, unlike the Frontier brand I previously bought (my review is on their page), this company (Starwest) at least lists the country of origin on the package, as seen in the picture. I even mentioned in my Frontier review that I was switching to Starwest specifically because they list the country of origin, which is Chile. The Starwest product arrived a few days ago and, lo and behold, the package lists "South Africa" as the country of origin. Not that either country's growing practices and oversight is better or worse (and frankly, how am I supposed to really know anything about either? I'm sitting here unawares in the United States) but it irked me a tad that despite the picture they show on this product page, and the answer "Chile" when customers ask the country of origin in the Q & A section, this stuff was from another country entirely. Can these companies please get their advertising straight? With all the reasons we buy or don't buy products, many consumers consider "country of origin" as a stipulation of whether to buy or not. Seems like a lazy business practice, which doesn't instill faith in the consumer. (PS yeah, the rosehips are fine.)

Rose hips are absolutely amazing! Great for inflammation and tons of vitamin c. I like to mix them with spearmint to make a nice tea when I’m sick.

I really like this product. It makes great tasting tea.

Excellent work
