100% NFC Rosehip Juice – 16.91 fl oz (500 ml)

Pure Rosehip Juice — Not From Concentrate Our 100% Rosehip Juice is made from the fruit of rosehip (Rosa rugosa) and pressed directly into juice. NFC means “Not From Concentrate”—the juice is obtained directly from the fruit rather than being made from concentrated juice and later reconstituted with water. With its naturally tart, refreshing flavor and exceptionally high vitamin C content, rosehip juice is a simple way to incorporate this traditional fruit into the daily diet. The juice is pasteurized and unclarified, so natural sediment may occur. Shake well before serving. St. Hildegard on Rosehip St. Hildegard also wrote about the fruit of the wild rose and its traditional use for the stomach: “Someone who is healthy in body, yet sick in the stomach only, should cook the fruit of the rosehip and eat it often. It will cleanse his stomach and take away the mucus. For one whose entire body is sick, it is not good to eat this cooked.” Naturally Rich in Vitamin C Rosehips are particularly well known for their naturally high concentration of vitamin C. Research on different Rosa species has found Rosa rugosa to contain substantial amounts of vitamin C as well as phenolic compounds and other naturally occurring antioxidants. This particular juice provides an impressive 450 mg of vitamin C per 100 ml. Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that: contributes to normal immune function; acts as an antioxidant, helping protect cells from oxidative damage; is necessary for normal collagen production; supports normal wound healing; and improves the absorption of non-heme iron from plant foods. Rosehips also naturally contain a variety of plant compounds, including polyphenols and carotenoids, which contribute to the fruit's characteristic color and antioxidant activity. Suggested Use Enjoy as is or dilute with water according to preference. Because of its naturally tart and concentrated flavor, a small serving makes a wonderful addition to breakfast or another meal. Shake well before use. Refrigerate after opening.
