Rose hips have lots of vitamin C. And I love picking them and eating them along the way. It's an acquired taste, but this time of year when they are soft and almost sweet they are great. So how much vitamin C do you think they have per 100/mg? The chart below from naturalhub.com shows the amount of vitamin C/100 g of some other fruits. (The column that shows green kiwi has 98 mg/100 g.)

And this is Blake from Glenallen.
He works for the BLM there, but is going to UAA,
so he was doing their survey of people using BLM land.

Here's the rosehip vitamin C answer. Compare the third column numbers here with those in the table above. For Alaskans, they are out in the woods waiting to be picked and eaten now, or stored away for winter.

What a beautiful post... I need to go for a walk in the woods too!!!
ReplyDeleteI think those are Pushki (sp?) seeds - wild cow parnsip. Thanks for the beautiful photos... I especially like the fern shot. wow. cs
I knew I was in trouble (coming down with the flu) when I started not being able to get enouh of them. I have never lived them in my 30+ years of being in Alaska.
ReplyDeleteYes, CS, they are wild cow parsnip seeds still in the now dried out flowers. I thought you might figure it out.
