Rose Hips are AMAZING - Itchy-Powder, Medicine, and A Cure for Scurvy... 

That's awesome. Thanks for sharing that Jergan!

Some what like the reason I put a stalk of celery in my green juice. Celery isn't that nutritious, but it helps your body absorb other nutrients.

What is monk fruit?

@@jackblackpowderprepper4940 monk fruit is a powdery bulb filled with a natural sweetener. its brown and powdery and has a good amount of vitamins. 12$ for a large ass bag I still have yet to use all of it from china. it was like a potato sack full.

@@jerganvonspwe-en3328 Thank you for your response. I like to learn something new, Thank You.

I agree they need to stop trying to KILL NATURE

I hear you. I forage and eat buckets and buckets of wild greens every year. AKA, weeds. Just don't poison the yard. Duh?! I'm a poor gardener but love to forage.

Yeah it's awful to use those things, plus there are natural pesticides like Neem oil soap spray. Get the oil, not the premade spray, and make your own.

No accounting for stupid. And people are really bloody dumb sometimes.

Pesticides are junk! They'll kill all the good and declining insects that pollinate.

Wow!!!

Thank you, I will note tgst

viva España, carajo !

I wonder if I could slip some of those seeds into the food for the feral colony of cats that I tend to. Do you know if they used it for that effect on any livestock?

😲

ah the value of our education system... :/

I had a neighbor that ask me what plant were in my back yard My answer That is corn

That’s a funny story😂😂😂

My view of most teachers, is pretty jaundiced. They go to school, leave, and then repeat what they have learned, year, after year, after year, and they have a high, unjustified, opinion of themselves! .

@@niklar55 I think you must be young.

Waw you should write down her all knowledge

@@Realatmx that's a good idea, thanks!

You are correct. We gave lost so much valuable knowledge that was commonly known by our ancestors. Homeopathic medicine has no bad side effects, and can cure most of our health problems. Such a loss......

@@debramoss2267 and publish it i would buy it!

I hate when people use the term "old wives tale". Our ancestors about the medicinal properties of food and all of that knowledge is getting lost to OTC medications and drugs.

I don't think it's available any more but I used to love rosehip syrup in the 60s and into the 70s as a child. Very sweet. Yes I think it was a left over from the war.

When we were kids in England, we used to collect rosehips and sell them to the local pharmacist, who on-sold them to the makers of rosemary syrup

My late mother in law was from England and used to make all these stuff. I especially enjoyed the jelly..., but my mind couldn't convince my flesh to get it done by myself, as it is an awful lot of work... ESPECIALLY the removal of the "itchy-powder" .. (that's what I got to know it for first. Of course as kid and in Germany... kiddy-pranks is the true international language...it takes them 5min to figure out all of this stuff..at least I did and mine did as well..😁... anyway, great content, keep going...!

FUN! I seems like it would be a great yogurt.

tranbär?

I made marmelade out of rose hips during quarantine and send it as christmas presents to the family. Nice on bread, not all the taste I am used to, but not bad in taste and probably good in terms of the mentioned vitamin c.

Best jam but hard to make. In Romania we boil the hip whole and it takes ages to strain but it's just amazing and very tasty , the best sweet and sour jam.

@@rpzcsonli True, it's laboursome. There are commercial ones of decent quality, however. Not as good as homemade, but still quite good.

Thanks Justin

Did you remove the seeds?

@@thaisdaddario1806 No. Why would you do that?

@@elsonck2523 Because the seeds have these little hairs on them that can be irritating to the throat and stomach lining. It seems that is not a problem if you leave the rosehip whole, but I keep finding conflicting information about that.

@@thaisdaddario1806 Thanks. I never noticed any irritation when drinking the tea but left whole that should not have been a problem.

Hah. That's probably most wild foods. ;)

Likely the high Vitamin C content is a factor, but like any medicinal, it’s power is in the dose.

Yup its the Vitamin C content. We all have our own tolerance to it till it hits tolerance levels and boom diarrhea! If you want to know your tolerance level for vitamin C take 3000 to 6000 and if no tolerance levels hit meaning no laxative effect raise the dosage slowly then when you hit that back off 1000 to 500mg and you should be good. Just do it on a day off 😆 Seriously everybody's tolerance level if different due to the unique systems we have. But yes it is a safe way to check and then reduce ince symptoms show themselves till the symptom is gone and you will have your unique tolerance level. Just stay hydrated and have some electrolytes incase of over doing it.

High doses of vitamin C will cause you serious diarrhea

@@MandrakeFernflower Good to know

What are fresh elderberries like? Are they like a smaller less meaty blueberry that has a stronger berry flavor? Are they seedy? Where I grew up there was wild blackberry bushes for miles on the sides of roads and all over the place. They were amazing. I've never had any from the store that even remotely tastes like how they should. They are all watery, tart, tasteless, or really commonly for some reason they seem to always have a chemical taste. It's crazy the difference between fresh non-commercial hybrids of berries and the commercial store ones. It's basically a completely different experience. You'd think in the year 2022 they'd have fixed the taste issue by now with breeding and gmo but they seem as terrible as ever.

@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep Tldr: Elderberries aren't too similar to blueberries, but are fantastic, have health benefits, and are worth trying out. Elders are their own kind of berry flavorwise. Honestly, the closest fruit profile comparison I can make is a slight texture of blueberries (the seeds mainly), crossed with the tartness of raspberries, crossed with the flavor of blackberries, and lastly an undertone of concord grapes of all things. It really is a beautifully unique flavor. This is why one of the things people do with elders is make (quite tasty) wine out of them. The berries are rather small though. Each is roughly the size of a BB, up to about the size of an airsoft pellet (best comparison I can think of rn, they're roughly a centimeter at largest). However, they can grow in clusters of hundreds upon hundreds that can weigh well up to a good pound or two each, with dozens upon dozens of them on larger elder shrubs. When ripe, their color is a very, very dark purple, just like blueberries. They can also sometimes get a "bloom" coating on them, just like blueberries do as well, making them look a milky blue to even off white. As an aside relating to the color, they have similar anthocyanins and antioxidents which blueberries have, which is what may help with protection of the brain (again, similarly to blueberries). With elders, you practically have to harvest them by hand. Aside from possibly finding them at the occasional farmers stand, you just can't find them in stores. I'm assuming this is probably because of a couple factors. One, they don't last very long when ripe, and two, they require a bit of processing to consume. While you can _technically_ eat elders straight, you can't eat very many of them. They have tiny seeds in them that contain cyanogenic glycoside compounds, just like in apple seeds. If you eat too many of them raw, they will come back up lol... Furthermore, I don't know why anybody would _want_ to eat many of them raw anyway, because they're only mildly sweet in this state and very, very tart. In order to get past the main issue of the glycosides, cooking is necessary. All the berries must be removed from the stems and cooked down with a cup or two of water. Mash the berries up then strain with a muslin bag, pillow case or something of the like. From there, you have unsweetened Elderberry juice. At this point, you have dozens of applications you can use the juice for (from food to medicine, honestly it's wild what you can do with them). If you add sugar, reduce down, add a bit of lemon juice and a pinch of salt, you'll have a fantastic elderberry syrup. Great on ice cream, mixed in soda water, used in marinades etc. Elderberry jelly is quite nice on both breads and meats. If I make a jam, I save some of the cooked berries and add them in for a nice texture. Oh, and you can harvest the bloomed flowers as well come to think of it. Makes for a wonderful tea and again, you can make syrup out of them. Anyhow, I think I've gone on enough. Elders are a fantastic treat. Great fun searching for them on hikes and harvesting them with friends and family too. Give'em a try if you're able.

I disagree with the instructions in the video to let the rosehips simmer (for half an hour) because exposing them to excessive heat for a prolonged period of time will actually kill the vitamin C. Instead, what I do is boil the water first then take it off the heat before dumping my crushed rosehips into the hot water. I then steep them for a minimum of 20 min, but you can also leave them to steep overnight. Just drain and drink as is or sweeten with a little bit of honey.

Don’t know what you mean. Eggs come out the same place as poo. When you give them a feed of things high in that sort of colour, it goes right through and leaves staining which the shells pick up passing through. They are porous and stain, blackberries give purple staining. Happens to you and they cleanse you thoroughly to have a colonoscopy. No red colours for days. We had naturally pretty eggs.

Mus be a coo local store eh c:

@@maulor3 Well, sorta. I don't mind a soft Doxx - I live up in the Soviet Caliphate of Occupied Seattle (Washington State, USA). Our own Natural Foods chain is called "PCC". They've grown to about a dozen stores, but (despite kucking out to mask mandates and courting the Californian smugness that's increasingly infiltrated Seattle over the past 15 years), they are still the best and consistently-"Walk-The-Walk" stores out here. EDIT: Just realized I'm drinking a pot of the tea formulation I described, right now. Dang it's good.

Definitely. Just make sure they don't have pesticides on them. ;)

@@UntamedScience I never use pesticides! All natural

Ooh. I need to make a note to emphasize that you toss them in after boiling. Good point.

They really are better in a tea... just like lemons are better as lemonade. (IMO)

Thank you! Will do!

lol I was thinking the same thing, TLD is why I clicked the video

agreed. It's way better than I thought.
