Wild Rose Hips!

There's nothing I like better than gathering free and delicious goodness in the woods!!! So, on Keith's and my hike in Park City today, I was so happy to discover lots of wild rose hips! Not only are rose hips beautiful and delicious smelling, but they are also so good for you!! They have tons of iron, vitamin C, vitamin A, and calcium! They also contain bioflavanoids, pectin, vitamin E, selenium, manganese, and the B-complex vitamins, along with trace amounts of magnesium, potassium, sulfur and silicon.Yowzers! Here's to fresh rose hip tea and syrup to fend off colds!

PS Not only did we have a lovely walk in the woods today with beautiful foliage and rose hips, but we shopped for snowboards--oh the excitement!
