• Be sure to remove the irritating seeds before use. This can be done by cutting the hips in half and scraping out the seeds with the tip of a paring knife.
• Spread hips out on a screen or tray to dry for storage or freeze.
• Dried whole and powdered rose hips can be found online and at local herb and health food stores
