rose hip
Definition:
Though too tart to eat raw, the ripe reddish-orange fruit of the rose (especially the wild or dog rose) is often used to make jellies and jams, syrup, tea and even wine. Because they're an excellent source of vitamin C, rose hips are also dried and ground into powder (and sometimes compressed into tablets) and sold in health-food stores.
